[JamesMartin]

Working title: By Right of Blood and Beauty

Spoiler: Joshua

Name: Joshua (no surname), the Bastard (amongst other titles)

Age: 30

Height: 6'5"

Eye colour: Grey-Green

Hair Colour: Black. Kept in a short military cut, with a close cut beard on his face

Build: Extremely muscular and broad chested up close, he appears somewhat lithe due to his height and almost unnatural grace, but is still larger than most men by a fair margin.

Misc: Known for an unreadable expression and a deep, soft voice that booms when he feels the need to raise it. His face bears a pale scar on the left side from temple to jaw, but is generally regarded as more handsome for it. Several lesser scars can be found on his arms, legs and torso. Olive skinned, his complexion is slightly darker than that of his cousins.

Background: The bastard son of a sultan of the same name, he was 15 when his uncle took over his father's throne. He was placed in command of an elite cavalry force only a year later and sent to repel raiders from aggressive nomadic tribes (Likely with the intention of getting him killed). He proved as capable as he was fierce and had a reputation for routing superior forces against all odds. By the time he was 20, he had been named martial of the realm, in direct command of the Sultunates military forces. He spent several years on intermittent campaign, the largest and longest following the murder of his uncle, against the rival nation of Larsa, conquering in a matter of years what had held its own for decades.

Spoiler: Alia Leanora Del Surmin

Name: Alia Leanora Del Surmin

Age: 19

Height: 5'5"

Eye colour: Black

Hair Colour: Black, hanging down nearly to her waist in emdless curls

Build: Hour glass figure with full womanly curves. Delicate, she shows little sign of any extensive physical exertion, though her fitness is not lacking

Misc: Sharp, attractive features, with full lips prone to pouting. Generally regarded as an exceptional beauty. Celebrated as a muse, and a patroness of the arts. Alia has grown as a product of wealth and luxury. Her life consists of fabulous fashions, the latest volumes to cover her every interest, parties and an endless parade of cliques that come running to every soiree she sets in motion. She is the embodiment of an 'it' girl, whatever she wears- half the country will be seen wearing the next day. The shocking things she says to diplomats and her many high standing suitors are often repeated through gossip to the annoyance of her older brothers.

Background: Youngest child and only daughter of Sultan Toral and his second wife, she was raised in immense privilege, spoiled by her father and uncle, indulged by her brothers, with only her cousin refusing to treat her with total deference. Though even he indulged her on occasion.

Spoiler: Noah Din Surmin

Name: Noah Din Surmin

Age: 30

Height: 6'1"

Eye colour: Olive Green

Hair colour: Black

Build: Average build and slightly plump, with few of the warrior talents or instincts of his kin. Handsome in his way, but often overshadowed by an expression that can be arrogant or pouty.

Misc: With pale skin compared to most of his kin, he is often red-faced. Poised, impeccable, posh, well spoken and succeeds at fashioning himself the new king. Keyword, fashioning. He enjoys the freedoms of being the IT man, the ruler of everything on sight. He is also vain, shallow, and incredibly selfish.

Spoiler: Darius Din Surmin

Name: Darius Din Surmin

Age: 28

Height: 5' 11"

Eye colour: Emerald Green

Hair colour: Mousy brown, cut extremely close to his head, with an equally short beard.

Build: Broad and heavyset

Misc: Darius is technically the second born, he despises titles and believes whatever gains he has is won due to merit alone. He keeps to his training, he rides on to battle, sleeps with his men upon the floor and carries a spartan life compared to his lavish siblings. Of all the siblings, he is the closest to Joshua, having adopted many of his mannerisms and serving as his second in command. He typically fights in the vanguard of any battle, wielding a large poleaxe on foot.

Spoiler: Daryoon Din Surmin

Name: Daryoon Din Surmin

Age: 28

Height: 5'11

Eye colour: Emerald Green

Hair colour: Brown, grown out to be very near shoulder length and maintained with great care; though he shares his brother's thin, sharp face, he has a reputation of being pretty rather than handsome because of it.

Build: Lithe when compared to his twin, he is built for speed, balance and precision, rather than brute strength, but is far from frail.

Misc: Informed of every house, of every cult, every rebellion before it even happens. Think of him as a spider, with his own web of information. He indirectly rules everything, despite what Noah believes. Which is why Noah is often played as a figure head, with Daryoon pulling the strings. He is a master manipulator. Where his twin brother fights on the front, he can be found in the reserves, controlling logistics and intelligence gathering for his cousin.

Spoiler: Isaac Din Surmin

Name: Isaac Din Surmin

Age: 26

Height: 6'0"

Eye colour: Grey

Hair colour: Light brown, favouring his mother more than any other sibling

Build: Plump, he has little evidence of ever having laboured.

Misc: Bookish, sickly and prone to long bouts of melancholy and isolation, he is the least involved in the general politics of court, even compared to his siblings on campaign. Often vanishing from courtly life for weeks at a time, only his sister has shown the capacity to make him willingly come out for courtly events. He is extremely fearful of his cousin, who has long sought to "stiffen his spine" and varies between outright intimidation and casual mockery.

Spoiler: Ram Din Surmin

Name: Ram Din Surmin

Age: 24

Height: 5' 8"

Eye colour: Very dark grey, near black

Hair colour: Pure black, with little of the glossyness seen by his other siblings

Build: Thick rather than simply muscular, he carries as much bulk as Joshua or Darius on a frame noticeably shorter. He strongly favours his father, far more than any of his brothers.

Misc: A hothead, Alia’s youngest brother would often go about terrorizing her admirers and flaunting his own. He was the ‘player’ but still possessed a skilled battle hand. He rode with Joshua's elite cavalry command, but not because he is selfless or heroic but due to the simple reason that warrior princes make a fine presentation for his ladies. He just liked the image it gave him. He was killed only a few months from returning home, when he led his men in a reckless charge against an entrenched position and was ambushed from the side after being told to hold back by Joshua. Reportedly the only reason his cousin and brothers did not leave his corpse behind out of anger at his stupidity, was because he managed to overwhelm the position and cut down more than 10 men personally in spite of it before he succumbed.

 

[JamesMartin]

Spoiler: The Wild's Call

Name: Arnulf Mondlicht

Age: Indeterminate, appears around 29

Height: 6' 5"

Eyes: Grey, seem to get lighter and darker with the moon cycle.

Name: Larentia Mondlicht

Age: 26

Height: 5' 11"

Hair: Long and Auburn, showing far more care than her lifestyle would normally allow.

Eyes: Deep blue

Build: Slender, but decently muscled, she is balanced between a feminine figure and the build of a fighter, with a moderate chest size andhourglasss hips

Clothing: Similar to her mate, she prefers to wear things she has killed. She has a love of finer, lighter coloured leathers and is slightly less functional, showing skin and vanity. She wears silver jewelry, most taken from women she has killed first.

Wolf form: Large for a she-wolf, she is slimmer than her mate and almost a foot shorter than her human height. She is very fox like in colour, incorporating hues of red that are white tipped in some places. Eyes in this form are ice blue, so vibrant they almost seem to glow.

Personality: Harsh as a rule, Damien has little pity or consideration for anyone or anything other than himself. Centuries of life have left him jaded and deeply cynical, though he has also learned how to hide this whenever doing so brings him benefit

Background: Born centuries ago and orphaned in a nondescript city that has long since ceased to exist, Damien has lived dozens of lives, from warrior to sellsword to general to bandit leader, under many names and wearing many disguises. His only driving goal has been the acquisition of power, which has garnered him a number of powerful artifacts, significant wealthy and well placed contacts in dozens of lands

Additional notes: Practices a form of magic she refers to as "Conveying", which focuses on moving of a physical attribute from one place or object to another. Has a particular affinity for the moving (and removing) of heat. Possesses the capacity to enchant, a rare talent that allows the creation of magical objects related to her powers.*

*This is a preliminary idea, one I might expand or change after some consideration

Personality: More mild-mannered than her lover of more than a century, Gabriella is every bit as ruthless, but far more pragmatic, preferring manipulation and coercion to outright violence.

Background: Born into privilege in a northern island kingdom, she yearned for adventure and found it when she met Damien, at the time posing as a foreign lord on a diplomatic mission. The two fled in the night, leaving a number of bodies and a home picked clean of all valuables save what was used to start the fire. She has been with him almost constantly ever since, his abilities used to extend her life as well as his own.


Name: Olivianna Odinson
Pronouns: she/her
Sexuality: heterosexual

Age: 26
Height: 5'4"
Build: average 130lbs
Skin Tone: brown
Hair: dark brown
Facial Features: cat eyes, freckles
Eye Colour: brown
Markings and tattoos: tribal blessing along spine and down the side of her neck just behind either ear. tribal band around right ankle.

Additional notes: ptsd, distance runner, dislikes the indoors, wears a tribal neck piece that's been perverted to prevent her from using her voice and is currently fitted with a leash

Personality: Olivianna, despite her cutting looks, is actually quite gentle and rather dainty. Having grown up in a house full of men who considered her their most prized treasure, especially after the passing of her mother whom she closely resembled, she's not used to the harsh reality of the world beyond their desert caravan. She's shy but is a confident performer. Whether it's singing or dancing, Olivianna has a natural gift that her father helped cultivate by professionally trained in the hopes of marrying her off into genuine royalty. She doesn't speak much due to her power, but is observant and opportunistic.

Abilities: Olivianna's voice can compel people to do whatever she tells them.Whoever she uses it on has to be in earshot. It may seem op, but the damage it does to her is reason enough for her to refrain from using it on people. The more demanding the task the harsher it is on her throat as in, the tighter it restricts. If she tells someone to die it may just close and suffocate her to death. Currently, her powers work best on taming animals as it doesn't require words. Is also known for her slight of hand.

Background: Olivianna Odinson was a native of the country Eden (far from where they are now). Her family was in the trade business and traveled vast distances to acquire the wealth and stock they were renowned for. Some might have have considered them royalty by their own right. One day on a fairly new route with her father and two other siblings, a band of thieves violently and viciously robbed them of everything, which resulted in the death of her father- famous trader Olricc the Wholesome, and her eldest brother Odom the Sourcer. Her remaining brother Odyessus the Ox was able to slay a few of the robbers but was eventually overcome and cut down. Instead of finishing Odyessus off, the bandits took off with the caravan, which unfortunately included Olivianna. Thousands of miles from home, Olivianna has found herself at a slave auction, a place her sheltered self never fathomed existed.

Hair: white
Facial Features: angel kisses beside mouth, two above right eyebrow, one on leftside of face
Eye Colour: purple
Markings and tattoos: angel kisses, inverted blushing, purple finger tips, toes, and nails.

Additional notes: of unkown elven descent as her pigmentation is quite peculiar and does not aid in the tracing of her origin, inturn causing her to become an outcast. Reads many languages, including sign language. Dislikes rodents of all kind.

Personality: Enania is a level headed individual that refuses to do any more work than nessessary. She dislikes masculinity and loves sharing a good meal. Though she is elven who are known for their superiority complex and disregard for everyone else, Enania is rather kind and empathic, most likely a side effect of her discoloration.

Abilities: (all a typical dark elf has) Enania is resistant to magic. Has darkvision. Uses energy projection. And is able to shape shift to a degree. Understands many languages. Exceptional in reconnaissance. And can teleport short distances.

Background: Enania Fafaren is an exhiled elf, most likely of dark elf descent, that wondered the countryside aloof and alone. In the beginning, she searched for herself. Over time amassing a vast knowledge of many lands, lineages, and languages. With no direct answer as to where or why she was, Enania found herself with no purpose. Due to this, she allowed herself to be fatefully captured by a female male and her companion. In the beginning she didn't agree by the means in which the couple cultivated their wealth and wares but over the extensive amount of time she's spent in their company, she's become partial especially to the female mage.
