[Soon_Amaryth]

Name: Anneke Helvig

Pronouns: she/them

Sexuality: pansexual/demisexual



Physical Characteristics: Reference Img

Age: 19-20 yrs (in some variants, is much older but appears about 20)

Skin Tone: Pale, freckled

Hair: White blonde

Facial Features

Character Kinks: None yet discovered

Phobias/Fears: Being disturbed in her sleep, as it could affect her ability to return to her body and potentially result in death.

Additional notes: A pair of very small, twisted horns that sit atop her head. These are usually hidden by her hair or a hat.



Personality: A typical young adult, Annie doesn't have a great hold on her emotions. Her gut reflex when she feels uncomfortable is to respond with a sarcastic comment. In social situations with her peers, she tends to come across as rude and occasionally condescending because she doesn't feel the need to hold to societal niceties and rarely tries to impress anyone. The world appears to her to be mostly black and white, and she often does not understand nuances.

Beneath the spiky exterior is a sensitive empathetic soul who has been recently deeply hurt and abandoned by her own mother. A few situations will always bring out a softer side: if someone is injured or crying, especially someone who appears physically weak or very young (i.e. children, animals). Even so, Annie will respond as if she's helping because "dealing with" their fussing is inconvenient.

Once Annie's loyalty has been won, she would sooner fling herself off a cliff than betray that person's trust. A softer, more generous, and tender side will begin to unfurl - but she does her very best to hide this side from the general public as it can be perceived as weakness.

On a more basic level, Annie is a good student when she is engaged with the subject material. Despite the fact that she's not easily motivated, she's quite intelligent and can be spotted in the tutoring center working for some extra cash.



Abilities:

Storm walker/fighter - Annie father comes from a long line of storm fighters, those who literally project into a draconic form in their sleep in order to protect the immediate area (~100km) from life-threatening storms. Depending on their elemental power, they can either use their breath to reroute the storm into the ocean or stand between the storm and civilization to protect its inhabitants. Despite the fact that they project from their human bodies, they can still sustain injuries to their human form while in this projected state.

Before learning to fight storms, they must first project and walk through the storm to learn its power. This ability appears around puberty, but some experience it much younger. Annie first storm walked when she was eight years old, and due to her father's frequent absence she was unprepared to deal with the physical and mental strain. The young child did not sleep for another two days out of fear for what might happen, instead staring out her window, her heart skipping along with the claps of thunder. Now as a young adult, Annie is a bit more comfortable with storm walking - but she never knows until she is in the storm if it will require her intervention.

When either walking or fighting a storm, Annie's human form is left vulnerable. If her body were to be moved while she was walking, she may be unable to find her body and eventually her physical body would die from malnutrition. It is unknown, or not spoken of, what would happen to her spectral/draconic form in this eventuality, and she is fearful of finding out.

Temperature manipulation - Annie's primary ability in her human form is temperature manipulation. This involves primarily manipulation of the environmental temperature (currently up to as large as a basketball court) but with very focused effort she can cause ice crystals to form in the air. This should evolve with practice but is right now very rudimentary.

[Soon_Amaryth]

Name: Wilhelm Oliver Hensley the Third

Psudonym: Theodor Ainsley Ackermann

Pronouns: he/him

Sexuality: homosexual



Physical Characteristics:

Age: 23

Height: 5'10"

Build: lithe

Race: half-fae (dryad ancestry)

Skin Tone: Caucasian - tan in warmer months, pale in winter

Hair: Shoulder length, wavy - light brown in color with auburn tones

Facial Features

Beard: usually sports at least stubble, but in recent days he's begun growing out a modest burnt ember beard to further mask his identity

Eye Colour: honey brown

Markings and tattoos: Freckles all over after sun exposure, and he is frequently outside

Nervous Tics and Habits: Biting his lip or the inside of his mouth, clenching his jaw.

Character Kinks: pretty vanilla but he's sheltered so he may discover more (ya boy is a bottom, but would top for the right guy)

Additional notes: Slightly pointed ears



Personality: Theo inherited his mother's quiet grace, warm personality and ability to read people's character; his father's moral resolve and bravery of heart. Beneath the surface is a gentle young man who yearns for a kinder world where his people live peacefully with their neighboring kingdom. Theo is not anyone's idea of the perfect heir, being far too sensitive and idealistic.

Despite his kindness, Theo has a spine of steel and is not easily swayed by intimidation. He'd sooner hurl himself into danger than stand by and watch an innocent suffer. This self-sacrificing tendency may serve him well in the days to come.

Abilities:

Minor animal handling/control - primarily calming aggressive or hostile animals and ingratiating himself to them. From an outsider perspective, it might appear that he is able to communicate with animals but it's a bit more complex than that.

Plant growth - just as it sounds, he can bring nearly dead foliage back from the brink of death and plants in his care will flourish even in the harshest of conditions.

Healing - able to slow bleeding in severe wounds and quicken healing in others, though it takes much concentration and quickly drains his energy. He's unable to instantly heal complete fractures but can induce a hypnotic sort of state in the injured party while the limb is set so that their pain is lessened.

Stealthy/quick on his feet - thanks to his fae ancestry, Theo is much faster and quieter than the average human, though not as quick as his fae counterparts.

Background: Born the bastard son of the now deceased king, Theo has spent the past two decades near a remote village many leagues from the ruling city of the kingdom. He was raised in a modest hut on the outskirts of the town, with most of his connections not with the townspeople but instead with the fae that dwelled in the wood. His mother lived with him up until he turned 18, when she finally broke it to him that he was the secret child of the current king. Theo didn't believe her at first and thought it was a strange joke she was playing on him, but when she brought his "uncle" before him, who corroborated the story, the reality came quickly crashing down on him. Suddenly he understood why the pair of them had tried so hard those 18 years to keep him from wandering far from their little village, never answered questions about his parentage, and seemed so skittish around strangers. It turned out that his uncle was no biological relation, but instead a dear friend of his mother's who had met them when Theo was a tot, inadvertently learned who his father was, and sworn to Merys to protect her son with his life.

 

[Soon_Amaryth]

Name: Sohn Ha-joon

Pronouns: he/they

Sexuality: pansexual/demisexual



Physical Characteristics:

Age: 19

Height: 5'9" / 175cm

Build: Slender

Race: Samjok-o

Skin Tone: Light tan, cool under tone

Hair: Long dark brown hair - usually tied back near the nape or braided

Facial Features

Beard: none - always cleanshaved

Eye Colour: Honey brown

Markings and tattoos: Dark mole on the lower nape of his neck, slightly to the righthand side. Small scar just below his lower lip and a similar one on his chin. Several scars across his elbows and knees.

Nervous Tics and Habits: Will braid and re-braid his own hair if he's worried.

Character Kinks: Not many established yet as he's quite virginal, though he's pretty sure he'd love for someone to pull his hair and boss him around a bit.

Additional notes:



Personality: A bit on the serious side, Ha-joon is a quiet young man with a gentle smile and a soft voice. He is slow to speak and even slower to act, earning him the nickname "grandpa" from his closest friends. Unlike most of his peers, he much prefers the quiet company of a book and perhaps a cat (despite the irony of a crow and a cat being companions).

Ha-joon is embarrassingly bad with technology, although he has managed to learn to type on a keyboard with passable skill in the past few years just so that his college professors won't fail him. He still has a flip phone and refuses to upgrade. Due to his frequent migraines, Ha-joon's inner circle of friends is mostly made up of friends from school who occasionally drag him out of the house and force him to be social, or come by to make sure he remembers to hydrate when he's incapacitated. They tend to forget that he's almost immune to the normal depression that most humans develop when they spend too much time inside. Being that his people are basically the power of the sun incarnate.



Abilities: Shapeshifts into a towering 7 foot tall 3-legged crow. He is blind in this form, but exponentially stronger physically. Since he spent much of his childhood in this form, he finds eyesight to be overwhelming and is prone to migraines. As a child he learned to read braille so that he could enjoy books without suffering the migraine - though braille books are quite expensive and difficult to find.

He emanates an impressive amount of heat that can be felt as far as a couple of feet away, depending on someone's temperature sensitivity. Plants tend to slowly turn their leaves towards him as if trying to soak up some invisible rays.

Extra-sensory perception - moreso an extra-sensory awareness than psychic ability. Even with his eyes closed, Ha-joon can feel the presence of other living creatures within a 10 ft radius.

[Soon_Amaryth]

Name: Connor McLachlan

Pronouns: he/him

Sexuality: pansexual (slightly more attracted to men)



Physical Characteristics:

Age: 19

Height: 5'8"

Build: Gangling - hasn't seemed to have grown into his limbs yet.

Race: Human - Scottish descent

Skin Tone: Warm ivory - burns before he tans

Hair: Sandy brown - wavy if he lets it get too long, which is often

Facial Features

Beard: Short stubble

Eye Colour: Hazel but predominantly blue with a brown interior

Markings and tattoos: self harm scars - primarily on his upper arms, so he tends to wear longer sleeves than is climate appropriate.

Nervous Tics and Habits: Will self-consciously pull down his sleeves and duck his head if he feels there are too many eyes on him.

Character Kinks: Has a soft spot for bad boys

Additional notes: Speaks with a slight Scottish accent, mostly only slips out with certain words. Is the godfather and coparent of his baby niece, ever since her mother died suddenly. Part of the reason he was bullied so much as a kid was because he had a debilitating stutter.



Personality: Shy, self-conscious, tender-hearted. This little bookworm wears his heart on his sleeve and would probably be incapable of lying if not for his elder brothers' influence. Still, he finds it nearly impossible to lie unless it's to protect someone (not himself). He's diligent and studious, often called a teacher's pet by other students. When anyone flirts with him, he turns into a blushing stammering mess and becomes quite clumsy.

The only time that Connor shows his bravery of heart is when someone else is being picked on. Then he'll throw himself between the target and their bully, content to take any blow or harsh words meant for another. Despite his outwardly appearance, Connor is fairly athletic and has participated in several marathons for charity.



Abilities: Strictly non-magical - writing, strategic tabletop games, chess, has a nice singing voice but rarely allows anyone to hear it.



Background:

The youngest of four boys, Connor's homelife up until his junior year of high school was tumultuous at best. His elder brothers were oftentimes the only thing standing between him and getting beaten to a bloody pulp by bullies both at school and at home. It was almost like he had the word "victim" plastered on his back. His father was a raging alcoholic (substance abuse) and took all his frustrations out on Connor as soon as his brothers were mostly gone from their childhood home.

In his junior year of high school, his mother finally kicked her husband out and Connor's slow healing began. He's still overly reactive to loud noises or sudden movements but he's finally starting to come out of his shell. His loved ones have even convinced him to pursue his lifelong dream of becoming a veterinarian. He smiles more easily and laughs a bit louder.

[Soon_Amaryth]

Name: Ronan Anrai Breen

Pronouns: he/him

Sexuality: gay



Physical Characteristics:

Age: 40 yrs

Height: 6'4"

Build: Thick

Race: Human - Caucasian

Skin Tone: Fair

Hair: Sandy blonde

Facial Features

Beard: See ref pic

Eye Colour: Gray

Markings and tattoos: Significant facial scarring as well as deep scarring on his chest, shoulder and down one arm. Missing his right hand above the wrist.

Nervous Tics and Habits: Clenches his jaw when he's stressed and becomes even more quiet than usual.

Character Kinks: Soft spot for pretty, bossy guys.

Additional notes:



Personality: On the exterior Ronan is gruff, serious and distant. Everything is treated like an inconvenience, including his new lordship and responsibilities. He has a perpetual stern expression that most people find terrifying, but for some reason his old friends from the guard laugh it off.

Underneath the spiky facade, Ronan is a dedicated, hard working man who lost everything in a violent attack. His soft heart hasn't yet found its new purpose in life, and the loneliness he's felt as a single man for more than 10 years is now more stifling than ever. There is a soft, romantic side to him just waiting for the right person to come along and fill the void in his life.



Abilities: Purely non-magical.

Swordfighting - which is greatly diminished due to loss of limb and widespread nerve pain. He would likely still be a formidable opponent in a quick hand-to-hand fight.

Skilled visual planner. He can visualize things and implement them. When he was in the guard this mostly presented in the form of defense strategies. Now that he's retired there's nothing for him to funnel this energy into other than overseeing upkeep of the estate and occasionally checking in with the town alderman.

Background: Ronan's mother died of fever when he was just a few years old, and he was primarily raised by his sister who is ten years his senior. Their father was a captain in the royal guard, and since Ronan idolized his father it was only natural for him to follow in his footsteps. Unfortunately Ronan's father was also deeply incapable of expressing his emotions, and Ronan adapted his communication style - or lack thereof. He typically has to be prodded or urged to express his feelings - he won't ever do it on his own.

At the ripe age of eighteen he joined the captain's guard. Though there was no preferential treatment, even with his father being a captain he was made to start at the bottom and work his way up. It would be ten years before he earned his way into the royal circle where the protection of the king's family became his responsibility.
