[Insouciance]

Name: Rosabel Munterios
Age: 22
Family: Vireon Munterios (Father) Liora Munterios (Mother, deceased)
The kingdom of Letripon once served as a beacon of freedom, compassion, and safety in uncertain times. Surrounded by war on all sides, the king of Letripon refused to choose a side and become involved in the war; at least until Vireon took the throne. Decades of neutrality went out the window as the new king took advantage of the countries position. Vireon swooped in and took control of its neighbor to the west, a small kingdom pulled into the war because of long standing alliances. With its army stretched thin, Pelune didn't stand a chance against Vireon and his fully supplied military.

War raged on, Vireon continuing his invasions to take control of every kingdom he could, gaining more and more land, resources, and power. Still, it wasn't enough for Vireon.

Refusing to bow down to Vireon, the remaining countries called a truce and gathered their forces together on the borders of Letripon. Fighting on both fronts, the Letripon forces began to show a weakness. Those trapped outside the borders were unable to receive the resources that they needed, stealing all that they could from the war torn countries Vireon had taken over.

Furious that his kingdom was surrounded and isolated, Vireon gathered his advisors to come up with new battle plans and tactics. It was during one of these meetings that an idea was planted into the king's head, a sinister plot that would require a sacrifice.

Vireon could not know that Dervin, one of his advisor had his own sinister plans and that he was being strung along by forces far more powerful than him. A god, or so he claimed to be, had come to the advisor with an offer he could not refuse. Allow the god to possess the man's body and the man would be gifted with all the powers of his powers. However, what the god failed to share was that he only wanted one thing and once he got it, he would no longer have any use for Vireon or Dervin. What did the god want? The soul of Vireon's daughter, Rosabel.

At first glance, Rosabel's beauty is undeniable, with her long silver hair and gray eyes. She looked every bit the spitting image of her mother Liora when she'd first married Vireon. Unfortunately, they would share the same life of misery and abuse.

Liora and Vireon's marriage was anything but happy. From the moment Liora stepped into the castle of her future husband, Vireon made sure to keep the female under his thumb. Every night the queen was locked away in her chambers, only receiving her husband's attention to conceive a child. When a child was finally conceived, Vireon allowed Liora some freedom. Wanting his kingdom to see he would have an heir, the king paraded his wife around for all to see.

The queen barely survived Rosabel's birth, but she managed to live for another three years and conceive one more time, resulting in her and her son's death. Furious that he was left with a daughter rather than a son, Vireon wanted to get rid of the princess. However, the entire kingdom adored the child who looked exactly like her mother. Eventually, Vireon pawned the princess off on the servants and had nothing at all to do with her, until she turned thirteen and gained her powers.

The entire castle was startled when the usually calm and quiet princess suddenly became irritable and withdrawn. No one was prepared for what would happen at the stroke of midnight on the princess' 13th birthday.

The entire castle was woken up by the screams that ripped from Rosabel's throat only moments before her mouth opened to spew out thousands of shadowbugs. The bugs did nothing but flutter around and eventually disappear, but there was no question where they came from. The only question was, what exactly were they?

It was soon discovered that Rosabel had the power to control shadows and the shadowbugs were not only a way of protecting herself, but a release for her magic when it became too much for her body to handle. From that moment on, Rosabel's life changed for the worst as her father's focus became locked on her and would remain that way for the following 9 years. Vireon forced Rosabel to train from morning to night, learning everything about her magic, strengthening it, and gaining control of it. Her training was brutal, even more so when her father began to lock her powers once her training was over.

It became a punishment. Vireon would lock away Rosabel's powers, forcing her to go through combat training for weeks at a time while her powers began to build up. He would wait until the princess was in physical pain to finally unlock her powers. Tossed into the middle of the forest, trapped in a barrier, the king would send one of his servants to remove the necklace from around Rosabel's neck. The first time it happened, unable to control her magic, the shadowbugs picked the servant apart, leaving nothing more than bloodstained bones. Rosabel was left traumatized while the king gained something to taunt the princess about.

And that's how it was for years, at least until the tides began to turn for the king. His original plan was to use his daughter as a weapon. With her magic, he knew he could easily slice through the other kingdom's numbers. However, he did not want his daughter's powers to be discovered. Not when Dervin came to him with a deal. If Vireon sacrificed his daughter, the god would give him Rosabel's powers which would allow him to destroy the armies on his own. It wouldn't matter if they learned of his magic; they wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

Vireon eagerly agreed, already plotting his daughter's death the moment he sent his guards to find her. Conflicted about what they were about to become a part of, the guards decided to escape with the princess and flee to the borders in hopes one of the kingdoms would accept Rosabel as a refugee.

Three weeks have passed since then. Rosabel and the guards remain on the run. They steer clear of villages and towns, fearing that word would get back to Vireon. However, the guards realize the flaw in their previous plans when they realized that Letipron was seen as the enemy and they would have to find a way to sneak the princess past all armies to get her to safety.

 

[Insouciance]

Name: Iriel Dadon
Biological Parents: Morwen Dadon (Mother) Madigral Morfir (Father)
Age: 120



Appearance
Height: 5'11
Weight 165lbs
Eye color: Blue

History: Of all the noble houses, the house of the Lord of the Land was known to be filled with compassion, love, and a connection with nature. The family line became known for their healers, alchemists, and above all else, Lifegivers. When Iriel was born, those who laid eyes on the small infant felt her power lying below the surface. Naturally, the family was quick to show off their new arrival not only celebrating her birth but the power she possessed. However, when the Lord of Battle announced the birth of his own child, claiming he too possessed unusually strong powers for a baby, the competition began in earnest.

It became obvious instantly that the two children were nothing at all alike, from their powers to their milestones. Iriel was the first to speak, the first to solve puzzles, and learn to read and write. Her counterpart was the first to walk and accomplished all physical milestones far younger than most. Although the families ran in the same circles, the two were mostly kept apart with the exception of special occasions held by the king. Their parents still pushed the children to display their talents for the king, hoping to gain his favor.

Outside of her parents' strange competition with the Battle Nobles, Iriel's life was filled with love and laughter. It became apparent early on that the young girl possessed a penchant for plants. Most brushed it off as a natural ability, but at the age of sixteen during her drawing ceremony that theory was laid to rest. When the priestess announced to the crowd gathered to watch the ceremony that the adolescent was a lifegiver, everyone believed that the most powerful of the newly aged Fae had been discovered. Moments later, when the son of the Lord of Battle stepped forward to have his powers drawn, the priestess announced in awe that the male was a deathbringer. Never in their history had a lifegiver and deathbringer existed at the same exact time, but there was no denying it. From that moment on, the two garnered the king's attention without even trying. Unfortunately for him, the customs forced the two to begin their training.

For the first year Iriel felt like an outsider. Both a noble and powerful, the majority of her peers tried to steer clear of her. Some attempted to bully her, believing because of her gentle nature she would not defend herself. They would discover too late that Iriel may not respond with violence, that did not mean she would allow anyone to push her around. The first attempt ended with the male harassing Iriel trapped in a tree until he not only admitted what he attempted to do to her, but apologize in a way that Iriel believed to be sincere. Eventually he snapped and gave into her demands, after spending several hours attempting to outwait the female. He grew tired of trying to fight his way out long before Iriel began to show signs of weakening.

Once she received her apology, Iriel let the male down gently and went about her way as if nothing happened. That was her way. She wasn't dumb enough to believe that wouldn't gain her more trouble than not. Oddly enough, it was the son of Battle that eventually became her shield in ways that she never expected. As the two were forced to face off against each other time after time, with Iriel keeping up with the male that most of the trainees feared. That in itself was more than enough motivation for Iriel to push herself harder. Not only did she have her parents words echoing in her mind, but the moment she lost to him she was doomed.

In spite of the constant competition between them, the two began to grow close. What started off as outright rivalry became something close to friendship. No one knew that they began to meet up in secret, training to exhaustion. It got to the point that Iriel began to feel as if she spent more time with him than her own friends. Iriel began to look forward to the time they spent together. By the time she realized that feelings were developing on her side it was too late. There would be no turning back.

Now in her fourth year of training, Iriel is beginning to grow anxious. With only one year left before they return to their lives, she knows it's only a matter of time until she would need to think about her future. He would be destined to serve the king. As for her? Iriel knew her path wasn't her own. Arrangements would be made and her fate would be left in her father's hands. Although her father would not sell her off to the highest bidder the way most nobles would, she knew there would be no avoiding marriage, that much remained certain. The best she could hope for was being married off to a decent man and allowed to use her gifts for the greater good. It wasn't a life she would have chosen for herself, but it wasn't the worst scenario either.

With time slipping through her fingers, Iriel's focus as been on training. Although she hoped to never have to use her offensive training, the female honed her protection skills, always hoping that she will never need to utilize either skill. Something in her gut told her she was going to need every skill she could learn. The sense of foreboding continued to grow up until the first abduction.

Rumors spread that the instructor had grown tired of his profession and finally lest his position after centuries. But when he stumbled back into the sanctuary without a drop of magic in his body and no memory of where he'd been, Iriel finally understood why her instincts were one constant alert. She may have questioned how she knew if the answer actually mattered.

The kidnappings continued, growing more frequent. It started as once a month soon turned into once a fortnight. Now it was down to once a week and the kidnapper was growing bolder. They still only took one victim, but they no longer waited until the cover of night to strike. WIth things only continuing to escalate, Iriel begins to question if she should try to find answers on her own. A foolish endeavor, but one that the female would attempt if it meant saving someone from losing their magic.

Slice of Life Characters:
​

Spoiler: Jessica Logan

Name: Jessica (Jess) Logan
Age: 18
Family: Anthony Logan (Father, deceased) Tara Logan (Mother, deceased) Damon Logan (Brother, deceased)

Spoiler: The Pact

After Jessica is struck by a car, her brother begs his best friend that if something should ever happen, that he (BF) would look after Jessica. In a position to be able to afford the responsibility, the friend accepts, believing it would never come to that. However, when the entire Logan family is murdered and Jessica is left alone, he is forced to step in to help her.

Height: 5'9
Weight: 138lbs

History: From the moment she came into the world, Jessica Logan became the darling of the Logan family. Knowing she would be the last child they would have, her parents adored her and even her older brother Damon doted on her. However, the spoiling never went to the girl's head. She understood from an early age that despite her parents' desire for a large family, she was the product of years of fertility problems and that her conception alone was considered a miracle by Anthony and Tara. She also grew to understand that no matter how important she was to her father, his work was a priority that he could not ignore.

Anthony Logan made a name for himself right out of law school when he took a case that eventually would make headlines around the world after when he defended a member of the Russian mafia on a murder charge. The fact that the man was acquitted earned the lawyer lots of attention and it wasn't long before the mafia pulled him into their world. Anthony knew that trouble that his choice could bring, but he also could not deny his family the lavish lifestyle that came with his decision. He knew the risks, but always assumed that he would be the sole target of the mafia's ire. Unfortunately for him, he was wrong.

When Jessica was ten she became the first target in the family, or perhaps she was merely a target of opportunity; the family would never know. After one of lower members is charged with an assault on a child and Anthony refuses to take the case, a loud message was sent. Jessica was struck by a car as she walked to a friends house, the vehicle jumping the curb to hit her then speed off. She was lucky to escape with only a few minor injuries and a cast on her left leg, but her father knew that wouldn't remain the case if he didn't do what the mafia wanted him to. The accident foreshadowed a lengthy struggle for Anthony Logan, who felt trapped in his position. He did as he was asked to despite the fact that he was beginning to resent his choices.

Things grew quiet after the accident and Anthony began to walk the line set for him, at least until a few months before the family's murder. Once again Anthony was called in to defend a member of the mafia, this time accused of murdering his mistress. The evidence was all circumstantial and it should have been a walk in the park getting the man acquitted. However, when it was revealed that there was a witness to the crime, the mistress' ten year old daughter, and that the mafia planned to take the little girl out, Anthony could no longer stand by and defend them. He informed the police and FBI of the planned attempt and the girl was placed under protection until the day she testified and then quickly hidden away from the world before she could be harmed. It didn't take long for the mobsters to realize what happened, which sealed the fate of the Logan family, all except Jessica who continued to remain oblivious to her father's troubles. And why wouldn't she? Her parents did everything in their power to shield her from the truth as much as they could and the teenager was happy to focus on her own life.

By this point Jessica was graduating from high school, not exactly at the top of her class but certainly not near the bottom either. Academically there was nothing remarkable about the young woman that would have had colleges banging down her door. It was her talent on a soccer field that paved her way into one of the most prestigious college in the country. From the moment the acceptance letter came, Jessica's focus was on enjoying her last bit of freedom before buckling down to pour all of her energy into her education while also leading the college's women's soccer team to championships. That was her plan when she left her family the last week of August with her best friend for a girl's trip to the Florida Keys. One last fling before she settle down. Sadly, the trip would be interrupted by a phone call and the terrible news that her family was dead and that her childhood home was nothing more than ashes.​

​

Spoiler: Victoria Neisin

Name: Victoria (Tori) Neisin
Age: 18
Profession: Student/Receptionist
Family: Rodrick Neisin (Father) Laura Neisin (Mother) Victor Neisin (Brother)

History: The Neisin family had always been that family on the block, the ones everyone talked about but no one interfered with out of fear of Rodrick's wrath. Being the wealthiest family in their small town as well as the main employer made Rodrick practically untouchable, although the rumor mill loved to spread the gossip each time Laura stepped out of the house with wide sunglasses or long sleeved shirts on hot summer days. It wasn't uncommon for the patriarch of the family to brag about how he'd put his wife in her place or how he kept his children in line. Of all the members of the household, Tori was the one who got off the lightest. The apple of her father's eye, the girl received a slap on the wrist for offenses that would earn her brother or mother a beating of a lifetime. Fortunately for them, Tori did not abuse the situation. Rather than take advantage of the way her father would turn his brutal assaults on his spouse and son, Tori began to take responsibility for offenses she knew would lead to trouble.

Seven years her senior, Victor was out of the house before he was even eighteen. At the age of 16 he fast tracked his way through the last two years of high school and enlisted in the Navy the minute he was free. He didn't have any problems having his father or mother sign off on the paperwork and at the age of 17 Victor was off leaving Tori and Laura behind until he could swoop in to save them. Unfortunately, he would never get the opportunity to.

Three years after Victor's departure, Rodrick's wrath could no longer be satisfied by slapping his wife around the house. The man became a sadist, inflicting physical pain on his spouse and emotionally and psychologically terrorizing both Laura and Tori. Rodrick would make Tori choose her mother's punishments, giving her horrifyingly brutal options that would leave the older woman scarred for life. If Tori refused to chose, he would simply inflict both punishments and force the young teenager to watch. Their sprawling mansion became a regular house of horrors and the once beautiful Laura was merely a shell of her former self, without an ounce of courage to defend herself or her daughter. Tori herself began to shrink into the background, hiding away from everyone and everything out of fear of what would happen if she infuriated her father at the wrong time.

All the while, Victor was trying to make a name for himself in the military. Along the way he became friends with a man whose background didn't differ much from his own. Born into wealth with a dictator of a father and a mouse of a mother, his best friend knew exactly what it was like to witness abuse. Like Victor, he'd run off the first chance he got, deciding to run straight to the one place his father couldn't reach him. However, the moment his enlistment was up, the man made a life for himself. He purchased a ranch where he was determined to live out the remainder of his days with only the people he chose to keep in his life, Victor being one of them. It was this friendship that eventually became Victor's saving grace, at least at first. With his friend's support, Victor intended to rescue his mother and sister, bringing them to the ranch where they could recover from their emotional scars and begin new lives for themselves.

However, Rodrick had other plans. Learning that Laura intended to leave with a now fifteen year old Tori, the man lost what little of his sanity remained. In the middle of the night and directly in front of Tori, the man doused his wife in gasoline and burned her alive, leaving Tori to find her way out of the burning home with nothing more than the clothes on her back and a lifetime of trauma.

For the first time, Rodrick finally faced the consequences of his actions. The trial, which became the spectacle of the century in their little town, lasted two whole years, mostly due to the Tori's traumatized state. As the only witness, the state's case relied heavily on a girl who refused to speak at all, yet that did not deter the prosecutors. They managed to build their case, using the now mute teenager's trauma as well as her attempts at communication to nail Rodrick for his crimes. The punishment wasn't near harsh enough for the lifetime of torment he'd put his family through, but it ensured that Victor and Tori would never have to lay eyes on the man again. This also left both children with a small fortune at their disposal.

At first, Victor invested in Tori's mental health. He hired all of the best psychiatrists and therapists to analyze the young woman. Doctors were brought in to find if there was a physical cause for her silence. They all came to the same conclusion; Tori could speak, she simply refused to. She did, however, find comfort in music. During a therapy session while her therapist sought out ways to help the girl express herself, she was placed in front of a piano and from that moment on things changed. Tori didn't begin to speak, but with a new outlet for all of her emotions, she would spend hours behind the keyes, playing lamentful songs. Still, she was no closer to finding her voice than she had been from the night of the murder.

Enter Victor's original escape plan for his sister. Knowing that a change of scenery as well as a new start was exactly what his sister needed, the man sends her off to stay with his best friend, hoping that being surrounded by nature along with the solitude of his friend's ranch will help her regain some peace of mind and start to heal the scars left behind.

Spoiler: Delilah Niale

Name: Delilah (Del) Rose Niale
Age: 27
Family: Alexander Niale (Father) Sarah Niale (Mother) Mia Niale (Younger Sister 20) Ava Niale (Younger Sister 17) Roger Niale (Paternal Grandfather)
Height: 5'8
Weight: 142lbs
Profession: Paralegal​

[

History: The oldest of Alex and Sarah's 3 children, Delilah was always a good role model for her younger sisters. She never argued with her parents, always did her chores, and focused on school. She loved playing with her sisters, especially Mia who she grew close to as the younger girl grew. The family lived comfortably and happy in their little piece of suburbia.

When Delilah turned sixteen, her grandmother passed away leaving her grandfather Roger alone. It was decided early on that the Niale patriarch would move in with the family rather than live alone inside his large house. There adjustment was quick and easy with Roger easily slipping into the family dynamics. Delilah loved listening to her grandfather talk about his marriage to her grandmother and the love their shared over the years. The stories always filled the teenagers head full of romantic notions that would eventually lead her down a road better left untouched.

After graduating top of her class, Delilah headed off to college to follow in her grandmother's footsteps, who was not only the first female of her family to attend college, but one of the few female lawyers in their little hometown. She had everything planned from going to her grandmother's chosen schools to the type of law firm she wanted to work for. There was never any plans to meet anyone or fall in love, not at first at least. For the first two years of college, Del kept to her books and skipped socializing. She wanted to make something of herself and thought if she was distracted the way some of her friends were, she wouldn't be able to achieve her goals. That all changed when she met Corey Masters.

Known to be the campus playboy, Delilah didn't give Corey much attention when he first approached her. She would try to ignore him when he showed up to walk her to classes or saved her a spot at her favorite cafe to share a cup of coffee with her. Eventually he word her down and she agreed to go out with him. Corey laid on the charm and within six months after their meeting they officially became a couple.

The first few months of their relationship was good. They spent time enjoying each other's company, doing everything that normal couples would do. Little did Del know, it was all an illusion and sooner rather than later her dream would turn into a nightmare.

The first time Corey hit her had been over a perceived insult. She simply made a joke about how easily distracted he could be and he back slapped her. Her first instinct was to break up with him, but Corey knew how to win her back. Unfortunately, that would not be the last time Corey laid hands on her or the last time she would go back to him. The first few times she returned because she thought that he loved her. She thought, like most women did, that she could help him become a better person. Eventually, she simply stayed out of fear. Not fear of what Corey would do to her. It was fear of disappointing her family and embarrassment over how easily she'd been manipulated that kept her in the relationship.

She finally confessed everything to her grandfather after her graduation from college. Roger immediately went to his son and the two formulated a plan to get Delilah away from Corey before he ended up killing her. Calling in a favor from his friend. Alex secured a place for his daughter to live, states away from her abusive ex. Knowing that she would need a job and someone who could keep an eye on her, he asked his friend to help once again and eventually Delilah was given a job working as a paralegal, with her free time spent going to law school to finally get her law degree.​

[Insouciance]

Name: Emonie Harrington
Age: 20
Family: Esmond Harrington (Father, King) Jusella Harrington (Mother, Deceased), Edwen Harrington (Brother)

Height: 5'8
Weight: 143lbs

History: The kingdom of Notten rejoiced with the birth of Emonie, who was not only a symbol of a successful peace treaty, but the first female born to the Harrington family in generations. Her birth was seen as a sign that their kingdom had been blessed.

Despite the fact that Esmond and Jusella were forced to marry to cement a peace agreement between Esmond and Jusella's father, the two eventually grew to love one another. By the time Edwen was born, Esmond was head over heels in love with his wife and nothing could change that.

Although the love was not fully present at the time of Emonie's birth, the princess never felt that her parents did not care for each other in some way, and that care passed down to her. As the couple tried for years to have another child, Emonie became the center of her parents' world and she was doted on. She lived a happy, carefree life. She was educated by the wisest scholars her father could find. Her wardrobe was always up to date with the latest fashions and made with the finest fabrics money could buy. She had everything she could ever want, including her parents' love.

Most would assume that when the king and queen announced the queen's pregnancy ten years later that Emonie would have thrown a fit at losing her place as the only child. In reality, she was thrilled to have a younger sibling. Once Edwen was born, Emonie did not let him out of her sight. Her parents often joked that she was more of a mother to the prince than Jusella was. Unfortunately, there was some truth behind the joke.

After Edwen's birth, Jusella began to grow weak. At first it didn't seem too unusual for after having a child, but as months turned into a year, then two, they knew there was more going on.

Healers from all over the kingdom were called, but no one could figure out what was wrong with the queen or how to heal her. Jusella continued to live, however, she spent the majority of her time in bed, barely able to leave her rooms without feeling exhausted. During this time, Esmond began to change. The loving husband and father, and noble king were replaced by someone colder, far more malicious than the Esmond Emonie had been raised by. Her father had become cruel, heartless and hungry for power, the complete opposite of the man she'd known.

It wasn't hard to look for the person responsible for the change. Like a storm, Lurician came entered the castle, destroying life as Emonie knew it. From her first meeting with the man, she did not trust him. The way her looked at her made her skin crawl, but it was the way he glared at her brother when he thought no one was looking that sealed the man's bad impression. Emonie would not allow the man near her brother, even going as far as having his rooms moved to her wing of the castle to keep a closer eye on him.

Her father's change in personality wasn't the end of the strange occurrences that came along with Lurician's arrival. People that she'd known for years were suddenly behaving in ways that were unusual for them. Emonie did not know what was going on, but Jusella did. Esmond came to her after he first made his pact with the ruler of the Underworld. All he needed to do was open the portal to the Underworld and allow his demons to possess his people. In exchange, Jusella would be cured and Esmond would have a demon army at his command.

At first, Jusella held off from telling her children anything with the hope that Esmond would realize the horrible mistake he made and try to fix it. She knew her husband was a lost cause when she realized that slowly but surely, every member of their guard was being possessed. When she could no longer keep things quiet, she finally called for Emonie to reveal the truth. The princess didn't believe it at first. With Jusella's illness, she thought perhaps her mother was losing her sanity as well as her health. It wasn't until she witnessed a disturbing encounter between Luricien and one of the maids that she realized her mother was speaking the truth.

Emonie returned to her room, trying to decide what to do. Her mother was far too ill to be able to escape with Edwen and there wasn't anyone that could be trusted. Knowing that she didn't have much of a choice, the princess gathered up what supplies she could and in the dead of the night escaped with Edwen. Now she is on a quest to get him to safety and try to find someone willing to help fight against her father before it's too late.
