I don't have many, but I thought I'd give them their own little place in my stories folder.
Note: for those that can be reviewed by the story's creator, changes can be made for anything they find too far out of cannon
Edit 5/11/17: I'm taking a few entries off; they're so minor compared to their fellows in their FOC groups that it doesn't really matter. Its just that this list is getting a little long, and I don't want that large of a chunk dedicated to one group, especially since I've added a few more to the one in question (enteries 14-19). All of my lovely little adopts will still get a mention, but they don't have full entries anymore... that is, unless I find somewhere else to store them... ALSO: Under reconstruction until further notice. Last major update: Lupe
Under construction!

Sha'thi'el ('Ell')-
For Sorachan's Tales of Tanjia~
Gender: Female
Physical appearence: Light green eyes, short violet hued indigo hair, a little shorter height wise than average, only a few thousand years past adulthood
Details: Ell was born into very low ranking nobility (on her father's side only; her mother's family is wealthy but not noble) who's title was mostly there for show. She has one older sister (Ayre'shki, also see: Riiean's details).
(Also I would like Ell to be hereditarily deaf, but if that is not cannon than consider her deafness to be from disease contracted in early childhood.)
Ell's mother died when she was young, and left her father in such a state of grief that he sent both childern away to seperate sets of distant relatives (also see: Ayre'shki's details). Ell was sent to her mother's cousin (unnamed), who knew nothing about her family due to Ell's mother's estrangement. He regretably thought she was a servant her father was sending as an olive b.ranch of sorts to his wife's family-- a situation that could have been even more disasterous if he wasn't such a decent master to his servants.
Ell stayed on with him (her father never called her or her sister back) untill she neared her 20,000th birthday, when she ran away with a poor local farmer's son (unnamed) and eloped. The pair moved to a different area and set up a small farm that grew mostly an edible suculent (which I picture as aloe like in appearence, but light blueish violet and bioluminescent at night). Not long after, she was expecting their first child when her husband died sudenly (horrific farm accident or sudden illness, haven't worked out details). Her landlord almost immediatly evicted her, casting her on to the streets.
Too embarassed to return to her mother's cousin and too angry to seek out her father, she took to the city and began selling wind chimes she made in the markets. She also began gaining skills as a seamstress, and eventually swiched to dress making for her income (now she only gives out wind chimes as gifts to a rare few; it is high praise and quite an honor to receive one from her).
Not trusting the local healer (unnamed)- a rather shady man that reminded her of her father and eventually came to a poor end- Ell had a young (then) healer-in-training (Riiean) deliver her son (unnamed). A very short time later however, her son became deathly ill, and she was forced to b.ring him to the healer.
As it turned out, she had a good reason for not trusting him, as he was b.ribed into giving her child to a powerful noble woman (unnamed) who had just given birth to a still born. The healer told Ell that her son had died.
Now having been 'abandoned' by her father, 'sold' into servitude, and having lost both her husband and her child within such a short period of time, she became introverted and took to wearing almost always dark colors.
Meanwhile, her skills as a dress maker began to impress a very wealthy trade heiress (Renn), who made Ell an offer to become her personal seamstress. She readily accepted.
Mui'renn ('Renn')-
For Sorachan's Tales of Tanjia~
Gender: Female
Physical appearence: Light violet eyes, dark b.rown slightly wavy hair that falls down a little below her hips, slightly taller than Ell, around 37,000 in age (?)
Details: Renn's family isn't noble, but they are vastly wealthy from trade. Renn is the sole heiress now to their bustling quarry empire.
Renn has never married, a fact that greatly pleases her other relatives who hope to inherit from her some day. She has, however, had a large number of suitors, all of whom were either shot down or pointed in the direction of which ever servant she had been recently playing match-maker for (her favorite past time).
In addition to meddling with her sevant's romantic lives, Renn also forces many of them to be social; she b.rings them to large events and introduces them to friends, much to her servant's displeasures. That is why Renn has such problems keeping them from running off or quiting. What few servants she has at any given time have to work not just on the jobs they were hired for, but also to fill in the gaps in staff. For example, Renn is currently down a hand maiden, so the female servants take turns. Her staff rotates duties as needed to ensure everything gets done.
Zar'iiean ('Riiean')-
For Sorachan's Tales of Tanjia~
Gender: Male
Physical appeareance: Dark teal eyes, curly black hair which goes a little past his shoulders, around average height, about 27,500 years in age (?)
Details: Like Ell, Riiean was born into a good family; his parents were both court socialites and greatly respected. They had enough wealth to be comfortable, and had a decent amount of influence.
When Riiean was old enough, he began studying to become a healer, specializing in wound care and trama injuries. He had nearly finished training when his family fell suddenly from grace; his father was imprisoned for lying to a very high standing and powerful official (that unfortunetly held quite a grudge...), and his mother was publicly shamed for fraud. Their money was (mostly) seized and Riiean was kicked out of his school.
Angered and upset, Riiean and his mother eventually ended up living on the streets. Only a few short decades later, his mother fell ill and he was unable to help her. Now tormented by guilt, Riiean was completly alone.
With his education unfulfilled and no other profitable skills, he was unable to work and would have starved on the streets had he not managed to learn the basics of theft. Though immoral it was, stealing food from the markets kept him alive. He hated the idea of wrong doings, but eventually learned to push his emotions aside when he stole.
This ability unwittingly gained Riiean attention from the leader of a ring of con artists who was in the area (Ayre'shki, also see: Ell's details). A few of her members had recently been arrested, and she was looking to recruit new talent. She quickly grew captivated by his unusual looks, and made him an offer.
While his raidings of the market did get him food, he was still half starved, and she offered luxuries that by then he had nearly forgotten. Needless to say, he immediatly accepted.
At first all was well; Riiean liked Ayre'shki and her other two partners (Goh'baniu and I'ael), and he was treated well again. He even occasionaly was able to put his knowlage of healing to good use when one of the others were hurt or if they needed someone to play the role of a healer for one of their cons. However, when he was asked by Ayre'shki to seduce a woman out of huge sums of money he refused. She turned violent, and subdued him enough to bind his wrists and ankles. She then ordered the other two to beat Riiean untill he learned "some humility".
Now terified of his leader, he does what ever she asks, afraid to defy her again and even more so to leave.
Ayre'shki-
For Sorachan's Tales of Tanjia~
Gender: Female
Physical appearence: Light green eyes, long black hair that she always keeps tied up so it only reaches her natural waist, slightly taller than average height, around 29,000 years in age
Details: Ayre'shki was born shortly after her parents married. Being first-born, she was showered with gifts and pleasures. When she was around 7,000, her sister was born (Ell). At first her sister was showered with the same luxuries, but when it became apparent that the girl was deaf, Ayre'shki's father became a little colder towards Ell. Her mother, however, became even warmer towards her second-born than before (and perhaps even more than she was to Ayre'shki).
When Ayre'shki was about 16,000, her mother became ill and died. Her father sent both girls away to other family (also see: Ell's details). Ayre'shki was sent to live with her father's vain great aunt (unnamed). Once there, her great-great aunt began training Ayre'shki to be a "proper woman'. Ayre'shki hated these lessons and left her gardian as soon as she was 20,000. She set out to look for her father and sister, but he had moved away from the place she grew up, and no one had any idea where he had went.
They did, however, know what became of her sister.
Discusted, Ayre'shki left, determend to ruin her father and people she deemed 'like him'. She quickly discovered that her great-great aunt's lessons gave her charm that could loosen the wallets of even the most thrifty. That being said, she was growing very apprehensive towards men, especially those who had decent upb.ringings.
Over time, Ayre'shki b.rought on others to her operation (mostly women at first). They were hand picked for both talent and looks (e.g. rare traits, height, slimness), but all but one (I'ael, also see: Riiean's details) quickly failed her. I'ael managed to convince Ayre'shki to b.ring on a few men to replace the others, but her fear & mistrust made it hard to work with them. However, when one of them threatened her, she had him beat (though not badly, only enough to ensure her authority went unquestioned) by I'ael while the others watched.
Her partners got the message, and for awhile things ran smoothly... but then everyone but I'ael, Goh'baniu, and herself were arrested. She quickly began looking for people to take their place, and stumbled across Riiean one day in a market.
Once again things went well for a time, but when Ayre ordered Riiean to seduce a young noble woman he backed down and threatened to leave. Her old fear of men --especially those with backgrounds like Riiean's-- once again returned, and his reaction spooked her so much that she had him beaten worse than any of his predecessors.
Another lull went by, and all was well for Ayre... Until she realized she had fallen in love with Riiean.

Gender: Male
Physical appearence:
Details:
Jezebel / Itziar or Nilam (?) ('Fairy Kitten' or more commonly, 'Jez')-
For Cornelia Funke's Mirrorworld novels~
Gender: Female
Physical appearence: Idealy soapstone skin, but as I'm unsure how cannon that is let's just say moonstone or alablaster, one amythest on cheek (no others until below chest level, then sporadic and few), moderatly long curly white/very light blonde hair with bangs (split down center)
Details:

Casey Anselm Everette-
For Cornelia Funke's Mirrorworld novels~
Gender: Male
Physical appearence: Pale with freckles, green or light blue eyed (undecided), wavy honey-blonde hair that goes a little above shoulders, long faded scar that goes across his shoulder and chest, right ear perced in three places
Details:
Denae-
For Written's Jorah Saga~
Gender: Female
Physical appearence: Mediumly tanned skin, b.right yellow eyes, thickly curled green hair that falls around her shoulders, a scar on her inner arm from an incedent with a trowel that she usually keeps covered with articals of clothing or makeup
Details:Born into a low class family of gardeners, Denae wasn't exposed to the fineries of life untill her luck changed many years later when the son of her family's wealthy employer began showing an interest in her (also see: Johannes' details). The two had a wild secret romance until his mother learned of the pair's escapades. Denae's family was removed from their work and sent out on the streets.
However, Johannes fought constantly for permission to wed her, untill he finaly reseved it and Denae was welcomed (somewhat bitterly) into the house hold. The pair were married and became prominent in the court life, though Denae's humble origins were a closely gaurded secret that none outside of her in laws and husband knew-- Not even her own family knew what became of her.
All was well for a while, with Denae showered with affection and luxuries, but suddenly her comfortable world was turned on its head. Her mother in law was murdered, and her husband went missing. Horrified and knowing she would likely be blamed-- especialy if it was discovered she was a meer gardener's daughter and a simple botanist-- she hastily covered up the crimes, hoping to solve them herself before they are uncovered...
Johannes--
For Written's Jorah Saga
Gender: male
Physical apperence: Moderatly dark skin; very pale, b.right green eyes; midlenght thick, wavy dark b.rown hair; gotee; burn mark on the back of his right shoulder.
Details: Johannes is the only child of a wealthy couple, both from very old and respected families. His mother was a bit disapointed to have a son and no daughters, but still she spoiled him rotten. As a child Johannes was always extremly adventurous and a trouble maker, traites he only partialy out grew as an adult. Coupled with his trusting and naive nature, these tendancies frequently cause him to get in to some sticky situations.
When he was a young man his parents hired on a family of gardeners to take care of their estate. One of them, a young girl about Johannes' age (Denae), quickly caught his eye, and after a bit of wooing the pair began a secret romance. When his parents found out a few years later, they fired the family in the hopes that this would make Johannes forget about his lover and marry someone else with more political advantage. However, Johannes continued to pester his family about the issue untill they agreed to let he and Denae marry, on the condition that he kept her humble origins as a former servant hidden.
Together at last, Johannes and Denae began their life as a married couple in high society. On their first anniversary, Johannes helped create a small city garden that Denae could care for, and recruted other wealthy socialites to be her aids/students. When ever possible they traveled or sailed together, but as time passed this became harder. Most of his trading expoditions (he fancies himself a merchant, even though his family fortune sets him for life), for instance, he does alone. However, he always egarly awaites returning to his loving wife.
But this fairytale life was suddenly shattered when, shortly after returning home from traveling, he is kidnapped and his mother slain by persons unknown...
Nami-
For Pearlsdiner's City of Black Stone world
Gender: Female
Physical appearence: Pale skin, on the shorter end of average height, glass-like b.rightly pale blue/aqua eyes, long dark hair that is a little on the curly side when not tied in long coils or b.raids (which is how she usualy wears it), almost always wearing black or other very dark makeup.
Details: Nami is a scientist (*crosses fingers* Astronomer? *begins whispering "oh, please be cannon, please be cannon..."*), and recluse. She spends most of her time in her observation tower (Granted by government?? Or some private investment?) or on high bluffs on the far edges of the city, where light is at its lowest and she can see the stars. She's a little on the grumpy side, and can get snarky when people really annoy her.
However, she does have a bit of a social side, abeit very small. Every so often, she spends a while in the city's various taverns. She seems to rotate them, never appearing in one more than twice in a row. Occasionaly, she even dresses up (something she seldom does; Nami "hates" fancy clothes) for these trips. But, she never speaks to anyone, other than to b.rush off bar flies who hit on her by saying she "isn't dolled up for them"
...Which begs the question, who is she dressed up for?
Izan-
For Pearlsdiner's City of Black Stone world
Gender: male
Physical appearence:
Details: Nami's b.rother. He was wrongfuly imprisoned (for what, I don't know) many years ago. But recently he escaped from where he was being held (Prison? Work camp? Dungeon?) and is on the run. He's forced his reluctant sister to help him a few times, but otherwise keeps her out of it. Is goal is to clear his name, either by finding the real criminal or by proving who framed him.
Also, he may or may not have a daughter. I'm still on the fence about that detail. I don't want there to be a mother in the picture, so I suppose this possible child might have to live with Nami??? God, that's a scary thought...
Áedán ("Zombie")-
For toramonger's Lilira / Under World world
Gender: male
Physical appearence: Pale silvery-grey coat with very faint lighter and darker patches tinted red or pinkish (not horribly noticable untill after he gained his scars) which these days is usually a little discolored (dirt, blood, etc.), grey eyes (though he lost one after his attack), fairly light colored claws, long wavy dark grey/black hair, after attack only has part of a tail, one undamaged ear, and is covered in scars.
Details: Áedán was once runner, and spent a lot of time out in the wilderness alone or with only a few others. He took great pride in his work, and always did his job well. But then while out with only two companions, Áedán and his small group were attacked (rouges? wildlife?). His companions narrowly escaped with their lives, and once their attckers left they went to check on Áedán. They mistook him for dead when he was really only unconscious and left him there.
When Áedán came to, he was badly hurt, with some wounds so deep bone was exposed, and completly alone. He tried to stagger towards civilization, but collapsed again a while later. Thankfully for him, he was near a tiny settlement. There, a local healer (Blaise) cared for his wounds as best he could. As soon as Áedán was close to being well enough for travel Blaise helped him get back home, though he would have prefered him to stay longer.
However, he didn't get the welcome he was expecting. Word had spread about his "death", so everyone he once knew either thought he was lying about his identity or worse, was some sort of undead thing (also see: Lupe's details). He tried to go back to life as he knew it, but his friends' and family's rejection/ abhorrence of him made Áedán decide to leave them. After retreating to the far streches of civilization, Áedán began to avoid contact with others whenever he could for fear of further mistreatment. He did, however, try to find Blaise again, since he was the only one who had treated him as an equal since his injuries. Uppon refinding the settlment, Áedán learns that Blaise had moved away.
He leave to search for Blaise, spending the days in small acloves or caves that litter the wilderness. Here he meets a young warrior (also see: Nilda's details) who is in hiding while trying to clear her name of a false accusation. He helps her on a few isolated and scattered occasions, since their paths cross every so often. In exchange, she keeps an eye out for Blaise during her own travels. Nilda eventually tells Áedán that she found him, and bids him well. Knowing that she is going off on a dangerous expedition of her own, Áedán longs to beg her to come with him instead, but remains silent. He reunites with Blaise, and does tasks for him as payment for room and board.
Blaise's neighbor's son (Corraidhín) finds a young woman left for dead while on a hunting trip, and takes her to him. Áedán recognizes her as Nilda, and stays by her side at all hours while she remains unconsious. When she wakes back up several days later, he activly avoids her for reasons he can't quite place. When she is well enough to start moving around she finds and confronts him. They argue, and as she goes to leave he realises he loves her. He follows Nilda and confesses his feelings, which she accepts and shares. They are bonded, but because of Nilda's unresolved past are are forced to seek assylum by begging a temple guard of Shinriti (also see: Amyntas' details). With the help of Áedán's astranged cousin (also see: Lupe's details) they manage to escape.
A few months later they have twin sons (Oedipus, Gloucester. Also see: Gethsemane's details), both born with poor eye sight, who are quickly injured out in the wilderness. Realizing it isn't safe for them out of the safety of the settlments, but that untill Nilda's problems are fixed they can never stay in civilization for long, they descretly have an ally take the children away. Áedán stays with his wife in order to help her.
Nilda-
For toramonger's Lilira / Under World world
Gender: Female
Physical appearence: Mostly white coat with mottled-ish stripe-y patches of moderatly dark blue and dark teal, medium blue eyes, long very curled medium blue/ dark-ish teal hair.
Details: Nilda grew up on the outskirts of civilization and lived a life of poverty for most of her childhood. She couldn't see a way out, but one day when she was still very young her settlement was visited by a lone warrior in search of food/water/whatever, who told her stories of the great battles he had fought and the incredible places he had been. In responce Nilda told him about something that had captivated her for many years, a lost treasure/ruin/other ancient mystery type stuff. It was a local legend, so the warrior didn't really know what she was talking about.
He set off a day or so later, but then returned without an explanation. He immediatly took Nilda under his wing, and before she knew it she was living the life of her dreams: adventure, prestige, and full of friends. Moreover, after becoming a full warrior her mentor wisked her away to find answers about/ look for the ancient mystery/artifact or ruin when ever there was time. It was an incredible quest and Nilda was more than willing to help her warrior friend.
But then they started getting close to their goal-- they had just found a major clue, and still so innocent Nilda was overjoyed. Unknown to her, her mentor and "friend" had just been useing her extencive knowledge of the legend for his own gains. He betrayed her, and when she was least expecting it attacked her. Nilda was able to escape only because she was willing to turn tail (no pun intended) and run at the first chance she got.
Upon returning home Nilda discovered that her former mentor had arrived before her, and had told the other warriors that she had tried to kill him(?) as a part of some sort of plot to upturn their society(?). Accused of (essentially) treason and with many more skilled warriors trying to hunt her down, Nilda barely made it out of the tribe with her life. The only possesions she managed to get a hold of before leaving were two of her personal weapons: a long knife/short sword ment for practical use and the cerimonial blade her friend-turned-enemy had given her the day she became a full fledged warrior.
Now much more jaded, Nilda began to wander the wilderness and sneak around settlements to avoid those who seek her and to continue to look for clues about the mystery/treasure/ruin/etc. in the hopes of finding it/ solving the mystery before her former mentor does. She also seeks to understand his motives, and hopes to one day meet him in battle when she is better prepared so that she can finally end things, one way or the other.
She is fairly single-minded on this goal; she moves around alot, keeps track of his movements by carefuly gathering information, and only spends time in civilization (in other tribes, where her problems are widely unknown, of course) when she absolutely needs it. But, that also means she spends most of her time out in the wilderness-- one day she happens to stumble uppon a loner (also see: Áedán's details) who causes her attention to occasionally waver. After some persuasion and many chance meetings, she convinces him to help her get information on her ex-mentor and to gather supplies for her when she can't risk getting them herself. As a trade for his services, she tries to find a healer (Blaise) who once helped him.
When she is attacked by one of the warriors who is looking for her (also see: Aaliyah's details) she is injured, and the first healer she finds to help her just happens to be the one Áedán is looking for. The next time she sees him, she informs Áedán of this and tells him about her own plans moving forward. She had found out where her ex-mentor was at the moment, an isolated patch of land outside of civilization. He didn't have many others in his traveling party, so she figured she could sneak in, lure him away, and confront him again. Unfortunatly things didn't go as planned, and, badly beaten and near unconsious, she was dumped in the widerness.
When she came to again, she was in the home of the healer Blaise. She quickly learned that Áedán was living there also, but he never came to visit her and she only was able to catch glimpses of him. This frustrated Nilda, as Áedán was one of the few she not only trusted but whose company she acctually enjoyed. When she was well enough to no longer be confined to bed rest she hunted him down and confronted him. They argued and Nilda intended to leave, but Áedán finally confessed to having feelings for her, and that he avoided her because he didn't know how to act on them.
They went to be bonded, but as they were leaving the temple of Shinriti a group of warriors recognized Nilda and attacked them. Fleeing back to the temple, they begged the first person they saw for temporary assylum. The man who they asked just so happened to be the high seer's personal guard (also see: Amyntas' details), so their request was quickly granted. Later, as the sun was begining to rise, Amyntas took them to the outskirts of the temple's lands, where they were met by a cousin of Áedán's (also see: Lupe's details). She helped them sneek out of the area, but swore to never do such a favor again.
Shortly there after, the pair had a set of twin sons. While hiding out in the wilderness one day, shortly after their births, the twins were attacked by wildlife and greviously injured. Tormented and horrified, Nilda convinced her husband to have a friend take their children away to somewhere safer, since they couldn't stay in the safety of civilization long before Nilda was recognized. She resolved to finally fix her problems once and for all, so that one day she and Áedán can be reunited with their children.
Guadalupe ("Lupe")-
For toramonger's Lilira / Under World world
Gender: Female
Physical appearence: Very pale yellow and light lavender coat, very pale lavender eyes, medium length thickly curled fushiaish-purple hair with hints of a blue-violet color, a little on the shorter side.
Details: Lupe is Áedán's cousin. They were close, and occasionally even worked with eachother, since in the past she was a runner also. She was supposed to accompany him on the day of the attack, but canceled last minute. When the others in Áedán's party came back, they told her what happened. After hearing about his "death" she devoted herself to the goddess Mintrina as a handmaid, in honor of her beloved cousin whose life, she believed, was taken away much too soon. She quickly came to love her new work and full-heartedly emb.raced her patron goddess... Though her fiesty attitude did occasionally get her in a bit of trouble.
However, things weren't always perfect for Lupe in her new life. First, she noticed one of the seers she worked closely with occasionally (Lyria) was acting strangely and had a tendancy to disappear. Lyria put on a calm and cool exterior, but she was noticably jumpy.
But far worse, Lupe quickly got word from her family that there was someone pretending to be her dead cousin (also see: Áedán's details). Most of them figured the man was some sort of con artist or rouge, hopeing to get supplies from them or earn their trust for questionable reasons, but they just b.rushed it off like it was nothing. Lupe on the other hand was outraged, so when the man (Áedán) likewise tracked her down she flew into a rage. She belittled and screamed at him, and sent him on his way. After finally calming back down, she did admit to herself that he did look a bit like Áedán-- abeit much more ragged-- but finally decided that it was just coincidence.
Meanwhile, after sneaking around, gathering information, and following Lyria for awhile, she concluded that the seer was purposely trying to stay away from others. Lupe decided to get closer to Lyria in order to find out what was going on, but it was going to be a hard task to accomplish; Lyria was careful not to fraternize with too many others, and especially not with those she didn't know very well.
As time passed she did manage to gain some of Lyria's trust, but she couldn't spend all of her time on figureing out what was going on. She had other duties, such as accompanying a group of other seers of Mintrina to the temple of Shinriti who wanted to be bonded. While on the outskirts of that temple's lands, Lupe once again came across Áedán, who she still didn't believe to be her "dead" cousin. However, she allowed him to talk to her, and found out that he and his beloved (also se: Nilda's details) were trying to get to the temple of Shinriti, but that there way was blocked by some enemies of his soon-to-be wife were likewise in the area. He told her that he could understand why she wanted nothing to do with him, and promised never to bother her or her family again if she helped them. Not terribly enthusiastically, Lupe agreed. She distracted a group of warriors for an hour, and figured that would be the last of it.
However, a high ranking temple guard (also see: Amyntas' details) of Shinriti reached out to her, and informed her that the pair were in a bit of trouble. They devised a plan to help Áedán and Nilda, and so in the dawn hours Lupe met the pair outside of temple grounds. She helped show them a path she had found a few days earlier that was long forgotten, and suggested a place to lay low for awhile. She pulled Áedán aside and for the first time since his injuries called him by his real name. She told him she still wasn't sure if she could believe him, but that she no longer hated him. She apologised for her behavior towards him and accepted his thanks for her help, though she admited that this would still be the last help she would ever give him.
Lupe returned home to the temple of Mintrina, and finally managed to gain Lyria's trust. She confided to Lupe that she was worried that her life was in danger, though she didn't know from whom. There were rumors that there was a bounty on her head and that some rouges had accepted the job, but the most troubling rumor of all was that someone at the temple might have a hand in it. Lupe grew closer to Lyria after that, though they were careful not to appear that way for fear of who might make note.
But there were good times too; a few months after Lyria shared her secret, Lupe had her first child (also see: Gethsemane's details). Gethsemane wanted to stay on at the temple with her mother, but due to the risk she had taken by helping Lyria, Lupe urged her daughter to become a traveling musician instead. Lupe sees her daughter often still, as Gethsemane travels to the various temples often to perform for their devotees, but can rest easy knowing that she is detached from the potential danger.
Amyntas- NEXT TO BE UPDATED
For toramonger's Lilira / Under World world
Gender: male
Physical appearence: Mottled b.rown coat, teal eyes, long b.rown hair
Details: Amyntas used to believe in love. Now? Not so much. Unfortunetly for him, he pledged himself to the goddess Shinriti a temple guard long before he learned better.
He fell head over heels in love with someone once, but it ended badly. In truth, they never really cared as much for him as he did for them. His significant other left, leaving Amyntas with a job he no longer believed in. However, his no-nonsense, blunt, unemotional way of going about his duties quickly rose him through the ranks at the temple. Within a short period of time, Amyntas had gained the attention of the high seer, and became her personal guard.
He does what he's asked and he does it well, but he never goes out of his way to put some feeling behind what he does. He followed instructions to the letter, but doesn't go beyond that most of the time. However, sometimes he finds it good to take his anger out at something (Amyntas is an extremly skilled fighter, and an expert at hand to hand or close quarters combat).
Outside of work he is a serial (wo)manizer, callous, and unattched to anyone. His family is very worried about him, especially since he's taken to just ignoring their existance. Additionally, he has recently been suffering from crippling head aches, which he is careful to hide from those around him for fear it will make him seem less competent.

Caelan Aloysius Necchi ('Alois')-
For MittyKit's Alatheia world
Gender: male
Physical description: Moderatly tan skin, periwinkle-ish eyes with a faint hint of a lavender hue, shoulder length medium b.rown hair that fades to a slightly blue-ish violet, perhaps the start of some magic-formed markings (haven't chosen a type yet, between light and summoner, but I definatly want him to be a mage if that's okay with the creator) but probably not 'cause he's a novice and perhaps thus far self taught.
Details: Alois' family can trace their roots to a line of skilled jewelers and craftsmen, though these days only a select number of the family members are chosen to continue the trades. The Necchis have a moderate fortune that puts them just into the circles of high society, and desperatly want to continue to advance socialy. The family patriarchs keep a tight control over the younger generations, deciding for them at a young age not only who they will marry, but also what they will do with their lives.
And Alois likes his family, truely he does... But he doesn't enjoy the life they've planned out for him. He knows he can use magic and would like to study as a mage, but his family disaproves of any non conformence to the plans they've made so he's forced to hide this from his family (thankfully the gloves don't b.ring much questioning; they just figure he's got an issue with touching things/ being touched by others).
Also, Alois started spending time with a misfit Zealus (Sparrow)-- a character his family would never aprove of. They help him learn to harness his abilities (also see: Sparrow's details) and gave him someone to vent his frustrations to. Over time, this friendly relationship grows to something more sensual, throwing Alois into a complicated love triangle. So, he could forget his dreams and marry the meek woman he's been engaged to since childhood (also see: Peninnah's details) but never felt anything for like his family wants, or he could completely throw his family away for the lover that seems to want to mould him into something other than himself.
Sparrow Voll-
For MittyKit's Alatheia world
Gender: neutral
Physical appearence: Slight build, petite, medium grey skin, white hair (moderatly curly, normaly worn partialy up)/horns/tail, very dark grey (almost black) eyes
Details: Sparrow is and has always been a lone wolf. They are feisty and playfully snarky by nature, but also a bit of a control freak. Sparrow spends a lot of time above ground because they feel like an outsider amongst their people. Their job is as a personal assistant to a prominent (group of) mage(s)-- basicaly, Sparrow's an errand boy (exept not a boy, obviously...) who occasionaly keeps pupals of their master in line (so... also babysitterish?). {{note: Sparrow has no magical abilities, they just work for (a) mage(s)}}
They had a family once but hasn't talked with them in a long while. In fact, Sparrow isn't even sure that their close relations (parents, siblings, etc.) are still alive. They don't have any friends either, really. Sparrow doen't tend to play well with others, so they try to avoid being social enough to make any.
But one day while traveling they comes across a shy young Edoni man (Alois) who had lived a very sheltered life. Innitialy Sparrow scolds him for "gawking" at them, but then becomes interested in his story. After learning that he has an interest in learning magic, they decide to help him. Sparrow gleans information off their employer(s) and then passes it along to Alois.
Over time, their relationship with Alois goes from business to romance (or, as romantic as Sparrow can get), which further complicates things. Sparrow urges Alois to run away with them and leave everything he's ever known behind, for good. He's very hesitant to do this, so Sparrow's relationship with Alois is sometimes quite strained.
Peninnah-
For MittyKit's Alatheia world
Gender: female
Physical appearence: Pale skin, wavy red-ish burgundy-and-orange hair that falls below her waist (normally kept up), gold eyes.
Details: Engaged to Alois since childhood, illigitemate daugther of extremly wealthy Edoni man, stands to inherit all of father's estate b/c he has no other children. Meek, nerdy, humble, and timid.
Angel-
For 2BlueWizards' (Gwenn's) Not Proven
Gender: male
Physical appearence: Somewhat short curly medium b.rown hair, with a vaugely gold tint; hazel eyes that lean more towards b.rown than green; medium tan skin; slightly taller than his b.rother.
Details: Angel and his twin b.rother are the grandsons of a Mexican retired consolate worker who's daughter married a sucessful Scottish businessman in the tech industry. Their parents' relationship has lately gotten a little rocky, with their mother frequently leaving to visit their family in Mexico for long periods of time. Angel doesn't particularly care that he doesn't see her a lot, but knows it bothers Emmanuel.
Their parents put them in Drumiein predominantly so that Angel could better persue his artistic talents, thought they also wanted the twins to get a change of scenery after some childhood friends died. Though new, when Angel first came to Drumiein he immeadiatly began swirling around social circles with ease. When he began putting his art skills to use as a forger of signatures, homework, and essays, he gained friends even faster.
Flirty and sarcastic, around the right crowd he is intensly talkitive and vib.rant. However, he takes his art very seriously and doesn't like to be bothered when he's working. Though good at drawing, Angel mostly focuses on mixed media and painting. Back before Drumiein, after his friends died, Angel got into the habbit of visiting graveyards. While there, he would not only clean the overgrowth away from some of the older, unkept graves, but whould make note of any unusual carvings or statues he saw there. He loves incorporating the motifs--and, occasionally, entire rubbings from headstones-- he finds into his art, and can often be found in Cairn's cemetary.
Flighty and occasionally less than trustworthy, Angel can be a challenge to work with. His most notable hobby is flirting and his greatest loyalty is to his twin-- he would protect Emmanuel with his life if it came down to it.

She fought well with her abilities and lived a happy life with fellow soldier she was in love with. However, her lover was killed in the line of duty.
Embittered, Nish swore off magic, limiting her use so that she's outlived many of the people she cared for once. She turned away from the stright-and-narrow, becoming a mercinary for hire. Useing knives, daggers, and poisons where she once utilized her abilities, her work is often physical and messy-- but swift.
