Former name: Ruby Anderson

Current name: Auryn Vistel

Title: Commoner

Nickname(s): Vis

Alias(es): Servant Girl

Age: 18

Race: Human

Gender: Female

Profession/Social Status: Servant

Origin: Earth, Canada

Relations: First Princess Elaine, Alura Vistel

Personality: Auryn was introduced as being very dedicated to her job as one of Elaine's servants. She was described as being very methodical, her every action having a lot of thought put into it so that she may execute it with precision, especially if it concerned Elaine, someone who she held in high regard and very clearly looked up to. As such, she always put 100% into making sure Elaine looked her best and served her to the very best of her ability.

However, there was a clear tiredness within her, despite her young age. This was only mentioned in a few paragraphs, with an unnamed servant bringing it up once to which Auryn quickly waved it off with a kind smile. It was never mentioned again, and readers could only wonder what that was about.

Appearance:



Eye color: Grey

Hair color: Brown

Fashion: Often could be seen wearing a uniform typical of a servant

Other features: A hidden scar that ran across her leg

Character role: Auryn was just a side character who only appeared once in a while when she was needed by Elaine, either carefully getting an outfit ready or appearing with a tray of food which was thoughtfully selected. She was mostly in the background, the only time her character was allowed to truly bask in the spotlight was on the page in which she died.

Auryn had been keeping herself busy by dusting Elaine's room, every so often breaking away from that to gently rearrange whatever looked slightly crooked. It was quiet, and Auryn opted to not speak so as to not disturb the princess. She was sure Elaine must be busy, after all, and Auryn was fully concentrated on her tasks anyways. However, this silence was suddenly broken by the sound of footsteps purposefully striding down the hall. These footsteps soon stopped right in front of the princess's door, and Auryn found herself frowning at that. Did the princess have an unannounced visitor?

There was no time to ponder any further on this, however, as someone came barging right on in without even knocking. This person came in with such force that Auryn had felt herself stiffen at the sound. This intruder moved fast, a sharp-looking object held tight within their hand. Auryn's brain had moved quickly, putting the dots together on what was likely going on here, and the servant girl didn't even have to think about what her next action would be when she came to that conclusion. Her body moved on its own as she ran at lightening speed to put herself in front of Elaine.

Her uniform was quickly stained in red the moment the weapon pierced through her. Auryn stumbled a little as her hands quickly grasped for some kind of support. Even as her body exploded with pain, she remained standing the best she could in front of the princess, the only thing that had managed to move her out of the way was another stabbing from a second weapon that the assassin had on hand.

Auryn had no say at that point, her body quickly collapsing against her will. But luckily by that point, some guards had conveniently shown up and the assassin was apprehended before anymore harm could come. It was too late for Auryn to be saved however, for by the time she had received medical attention she had already passed from blood loss.

Backstory: The only thing Ruby could remember was that her lungs had been on fire. She had been drifting further and further down, her eyesight a blur as her hand reached upwards for the surface that was getting away from her. The ocean, her mind would tell her, she was drowning in the ocean.

Why? Well, Ruby couldn't tell you that. She had no idea herself. Another thing she couldn't tell you is the reason for why her next waking moments were inside a bedroom that surely was not her own. It was a tiny room, with walls that were as bare as could be. There was really nothing of note that could be seen here. Ruby had been beyond confused, looking around for any sign of familiarity and finding none. She threw the thin blanket wrapped around her off, and quickly searched for any available mirror, eventually finding one that had a prominent crack in it yet was still usable.

The person staring back at her was someone she couldn't recognize. It certainly wasn't herself, that was her first thought even though she struggled to recall what Ruby even looked like. But she just knew that it wasn't this. Ruby had to think for a couple of minutes, before finally the answer hit her. This had to be Auryn, based off of some fanart Ruby could remember vaguely seeing once before which took the physical descriptions mentioned in the novel and brought it to life in the form of art.

Ruby didn't get it though. This had to be a dream, right? She pinched herself multiple times just to be sure, she even tried punching the closest object to her, but that just made her hand hurt. Nope, definitely not a dream. Why was she here then? Ruby could only remember bits and pieces of the novel -- reading was a little hard for her, that she could remember, but she had powered through the paragraphs just to find out what happened next -- but..if she remembered right..Auryn was a servant. How was Ruby inside a servant's body?

And..this wasn't just any servant's body. This is Elaine's servant's body. Meaning..she's a servant to the First Princess herself? Could Ruby even handle something like that?

Besides just that, Auryn had died..and just remembering how was enough to make Ruby freeze up. No way was she going to experience something like that! Staring back at that unfamiliar reflection, Ruby had decided, despite having no idea what was going on..she would take this strange experience and change the end result, in one way or another. She wouldn't relive death twice.

Former Name: Caleb Darkburrow

Current Name: Silas Evermoore

Titles: Lord

Nickname(s): N/A

Alias(es): The Black Rose

Age: 20

Race: Human

Gender: Male

Profession/Social Status: Noble/Mage

Origin: Earth, United Kingdom

Relations: Lord Alistair Evermoore (Father, deceased), Lady Serena Evermoore (Mother, deceased), Julian Evermoore (Brother (older), deceased), Aurelius Evermoore (Brother (older), missing), Alexia Evermoore (Sister (older), missing), Janus Evermoore (Brother (younger))

PERSONALITY: Silas in the novel was shown to be an eccentric and flamboyant character who oozed charisma and wit, effortlessly gliding around social gatherings gaining favour with his peers with ease. Yet there were also times when it showed that underneath the pleasantries and poise was a methodical, calculating and ruthless mind who knew exactly what he wanted and how to play the people around him like a game of chess in order to get it.

He also came off as hypocritical at times, such as when he'd show a general dislike for his entire family despite adoring his younger brother, who coincidentally was the only one still around, or when he'd bemoan how the nobility handle things despite the fact that he did many of the same things himself.

Surprisingly there is little noticeable difference between the old Silas and the new despite a small increase in his empathy. This was most likely due to a number of reasons, one being Caleb remembering next to nothing of his past life which allowed him to easily accept his new one, and the second reason was the large similarities between their personalities to begin with.

APPEARANCE:

Eye colour: Lilac

Hair colour: White

Fashion: High-quality outfits appropriate for someone of his rank. Normally very ostentatious, with flowing capes/jackets and cravats, all in blacks/reds/purples, with gold/silver accents.

Other features: A small, easy to miss scar just below his eye.

CHARACTER ROLE: Silas started out seemingly as a side character in the story before being revealed to be one of its villains later on. Though it was never shown, it was implied that he was linked to many events within the story, such as the deaths/disappearances of nobles and other people of importance. There were also many rumours of him delving into forbidden magic, such as necromancy and that the reason he always got on with the other nobles despite hating them was to discredit the rumours. These rumours are only proven true after the noble makes a move to achieve his ambitions.

Silas would rebel and try to claim the empire for his own, believing that only he was capable of building a fair and might empire, free of corruption. Using an army made up of mercenaries and worshippers of the dark gods (obtained through the promise of allowing them to openly practise their faith) and later the undead. Yet it was not to be. His army was beaten back and the empire's loyal soldiers stormed his manor. In one final act of bitter defiance, Silas tried to invoke powerful magic that would not only kill him, but also level his family estate, basically taking a large chunk of the army with him, yet the second before he finished, his head was separated from his body.


BACKSTORY: When Caleb looks back on his old life he's met with a dense fog obscuring a majority of his memories, the faces of friends and family lost to him, it took a great deal of effort to recall his own name, yet his final moments were, for the most part, clear as day. He remembered, standing on his balcony, admiring the sight of the city below, its neon light shining beautifully in the night. He remembers hearing someone walk up behind him, yet who was lost to him, he trusted them, he remembered that, which made what came next hurt even more. He remembered turning to see them, yet the moment he did he felt their hands push against his just with all their might, sending him over the edge. Yet what he remembered most vividly was the dark satisfaction he felt when, as he began to tip over the railing, he grabbed her arm in a vice-like grip and pulled her down with him. He could still remember the final words he said in his mind "YES! If she's to be my demise then I'll drag her down with me." Then everything went black.

... at least it should of.

Instead, he found himself waking on in the middle of a large, canopied bed covered in fine linens. Shooting up from the bed the first thing he noticed along mane of immaculate, white hair, but that didn't make any sense, he had... had... he couldn't recall what his hair used to be like! He'd recoiled in panic as he realised he couldn't remember anything before his death, it was all a blank apart from his name. After that Caleb was in a daze as he wandered over to the nearby mirror, inspecting his new face, the following white hair, the lilac eyes and the small scar marking his otherwise unblemished face. As he ran a finger over the scar he gasped as the fog in his memory cleared, allowing him to recall where he'd seen the face before. He was Silas Evermoore.

It was strange how vividly he now recalled reading the story and seeing the art online when only a few minutes ago he could barely recall his own name. Yet whilst most people would panic over their new situation, or mourn their lost lives, Caleb... no, Silas, felt none of that, he felt elation! He knew the kind of power he possessed as Silas, and exactly what he was capable of, the magic, the riches, the connections! Over the course of the book, the noble had come close to claiming the empire, yet he'd been outsmarted once and it cost him everything, including his head. But this time he had something old Silas didn't, he knew what was coming! If events happened as they did in the book then he had the knowledge to change them, to take fate into his hands, not only saving his life but potentially giving him control of the empire as well.

And why not? Out of all the characters, he'd felt most connected with Silas, it was only right he continue his ambition of creating a perfect and fair empire... with him at the top, naturally.
