Name: Oscar Lozano Age: 28 Thread: Why You? [Creativemuse & nly]​ Appearance Oscar Lozano is a 6" brunette born to a Puerto Rican father and an American mother. He is well-built and has minor scarring on his hands, the cause of which he's never been convinced to share. His skin is olive with a left hand sleeve of tattoos he also refuses to provide context behind. Being just a little bit of a neat freak, his hair is always kept short and tidy, and his face is clean-shaven.​ Backstory Toward the end of Oscar's second tour overseas, he thought he knew the kind of life he was headed toward after retreating back into civilian life—pursuing old studies, reuniting with old friends, perhaps even settling down and making something of himself that his late Ma would've been proud of. But civilian life was...missing something. It lacked something crucial he'd come to depend on heavily in the Army. Order. Without the structure, Oscar was directionless, a loose dog on the streets of a city he would soon learn had become the central hub to a prominent criminal syndicate. He never envisioned he would use his Army training once he was discharged, but those skills, coupled with the new faces on the street he'd soon meet, built the foundations for the life he now leads. Now known as the syndicate head's trusted right hand, the Oscar of today values nothing more than the syndicate that took him in. Their day-to-day operations are his livelihood, and his position is not something he'd ever take lightly. He is stoic, disciplined, polished, and oh so good at pretending he doesn't want to squeeze his boss' rebellious daughter.​

Name: Val-Ruith Age: 22 Thread: The Absent King (nly & Maskwright) Names Name: Val-Ruith (meaning exiled from Ruith; sometimes shortened to Val meaning exiled) True Name: Elimaer Val-Ruith (meaning Elimaer, exiled from Ruith) Alignment Court of Ruith (former) Appearance Capped by her resizing ability as a woodland fae, Val-Ruith is just a few inches shy of "tall" at human height (her true height technically sits at three inches), and she maintains a lean, athletic build. As per the Royal Order's protocol, her straight, dark hair is typically fastened into a high, waist-length ponytail, gleaming with the slightest tinge of green in the light as evidence to her fae heritage. Her olive skin is clear of any ink or marring, and her light brown eyes carry a stern diligence to them. She appears like any other human in the kingdom, and she may have had people convinced that she was human if not for the modification to her knight's armor to accommodate her translucent, insectoid wings. Backstory Capped by her resizing ability as a woodland fae, Val-Ruith is just a few inches shy of "tall" at human height (her true height technically sits at three inches), and she maintains a lean, athletic build. As per the Royal Order's protocol, her straight, dark hair is typically fastened into a high, waist-length ponytail, gleaming with the slightest tinge of green in the light as evidence to her fae heritage. Her olive skin is clear of any ink or marring, and her light brown eyes carry a stern diligence to them. She appears like any other human in the kingdom, and she may have had people convinced that she was human if not for the modification to her knight's armor to accommodate her translucent, insectoid wings. Background: Once an esteemed interpreter for the Court of Ruith, Elimaer was no stranger to traveling far beyond the boundaries of the fae wilds to participate in important meetings and dealings with foreign lands and kingdoms. Her talent for being quick to learn new tongues and speaking to all manner of nobles and royals regardless of race was her pride, and of such use to the Court that Elimaer became regular company to the Court's nobles. She was more than prepared to lay down her own life for the good of the Court, but hadn't been prepared to act under the threat of a brigand who knew what no outsider should know. By law, a fae's true name was utmost confidential—anyone who knew it could then demand anything they wanted from the fae. With her true name in the hands of an enemy of the Court, Elimaer had no hopes of stopping herself from handing over everything the brigand asked, from access to the innermost Court, to the names of those high within. This act of betrayal, however involuntary, was unforgivable. Perhaps those who knew her understood that their names had been given under duress, but the damage was surely done, and Elimaer would flee before facing the aftermath of the incident. She fled from her home, leaving behind every possession, every title, every connection, and branding herself with the customary title of those exiled—Val-Ruith. Though she knew many kingdoms throughout the continent where she could seek refuge, she dared not cross the Court of Ruith for fear of imprisonment. As much as she understood that it was necessary, she couldn't face the Court's familiar faces, and was afraid to learn that something terrible had happened to them because of her. Instead, she ventured far into foreign land—human land—where she would undergo combative training under the guidance of a retired knight, acquire her enchanted twin swords with which to defend herself, and where she would eventually meet the regent queen, who would grant her asylum from the Court's persecution. ​
