AMEL GRAND​

On the Regular

While he is rather similar to his younger sister in regards to them both actively seeking fun, pleasure and freedom, Amel is significantly less able to enjoy his life. As with the role of being the next king, responsibility weighs down on his shoulders heavily. He was born to take his father's place in controlling the fate of an entire kingdom. It is certainly not something to be taken lightly or acted upon with lax behaviour. And, as the heir, he is expected to have exceptional knowledge and refined skills in various things - sword wielding seeming to be one, and one that Amel actually enjoys. As of the current stance, he attends his responsibilities and private lesson exceptionally well. Yet, he might take a personal notice to himself to only extend his knowledge of the kingdom he is someday to rule, through what he purely has learnt and seen for himself.

Which brings Amel to having a regular schedule of going into the town built within the palace's general location [4]. This is usually without the king and queen's consent - and yet it has become a thing of 'this is his own way of showing his independence and presence as the next king". It is, perhaps Amel's wishes to be able to be a king the Tassara people can be able to connect to. He greatly emphasises the need to be a strong king that will be able to make the tough calls for his kingdom, but he wants his people to respect him, not cower in fear of his power and authority.

Due to the nature of how the Grands - specifically the current king - took over the throne of Tassara, there are various groups and individuals that are against this royal family. With this issues, comes another. Both the prince and princess are regulars visitors in the town, however they have fallen victim to numerous attempted assassinations.

Footnotes

[1] It's more so tradition for the first daughter to be wed off, and while the king and queen fully intended on having another child, this was at a time when the queen had fall ill. Amel was the only child they had to off for marriage. But the Mear princess was later killed by a disease that plagued the kingdom of Mear.

[2] He has smithed several swords in the past, including one that he currently owns. He was tutored by one of Tassara's best bladesmiths for a short period when he was a child.

[3] It is apparent that the queen is the carrier of a gene that has resulted in both the prince and princess having superhuman powers. Amel's being a enhanced super strength.

[4] Amel also travels to towns further away from time to time, but usually not until given consent and in the company of selected guards.

About the Princess

Briefing

● Annarei Grand
● First Princess of Tassara
● Sixteen

Royalty

● Second Royal Child: she is the first princess and second royal child. the heir falls to her elder brother by birthright.
● Betrothal: as with traditional royal family, it is natural for the first princess to be married off to knot ties with other kingdoms. however, annarei is not one to settle contently for tradition.

[div class=p style="text-indent: 0px; font-size: 14px;"]Name: Chase Hauer
Age: Seventeen
Role: The Chef
Status: Lower-Middle Class
Origin: Tassara
Height: 5’6ft / 168cm
Weight: 107lbs / 48kg[/div] [div class=p style="text-indent: 0px; font-size: 14px;"]Description: A short and thin young man with a few light scars. He always looks somewhat rough, whether from his messy hair or constantly ripped clothes, but no matter how worse for wear he gets, he's always smiling. His wardrobe is befittingly unassuming for someone of his economic class, but he tends to adorn it with small touches of color, usually flowers or feathers he finds on hunting trips.[/div][/div][div class=MainBody style="margin-top: 30px;"][div class=BodyImage style="background: url(https://i.imgur.com/K8ZC2Bq.png) no-repeat; background-position: 0% 65%;"][/div][/div][div class=MainBody style="margin-top: 30px; margin-bottom: 30px;"][div class=Title]Skills & Interests[/div] [div class=BottomBorder][/div]
[div class=p]cooking / he is a chef, after all. mr. oakes taught him a good chunk of what he knows, but he's also figured out a lot for himself. it's never been a particularly easy skill for him to pick up, especially since he can't read, but he's been dedicated to it, and he enjoys the challenge it presents.[/div] [div class=p]hunting / it's probably the thing he likes to do most with his free time. it was an opprotunity to get out of the house when he was younger, and even now, it's still a useful and thrilling way to kill time. plus, guts are pretty cool. not that it has anything to do with sadism. what kind of person is cruel to animals, anyway?[/div] [div class=p]dancing / you might think it's an odd skill for someone who doesn't go out much to have... and that's because it is. chase learns what interests him regardless, and he's had a special interest in dancing for some time now. he's only recently started learning, however; mrs. oakes teaches him when she has some free time. he doesn't know much yet, but he's picking it up quickly.[/div] [div class=p]hth combat / he's pretty good with a knife. he's always needed to know how to fight, and where strength alone has failed him, skill with a weapon has proved invaluable. on top of that, he's rather fast and quick thinking, so he can be rather formidible, when he needs to be. he's young and self-taught, however, so it generally helps that people underestimate or don't expect him.[/div][/div][/div][div class="content contentPersonality hidden"][div class=MainBody][div class=CharIcon style="background: url(https://i.imgur.com/u9xdtDr.png); background-size: 100px 100px;"][/div][div class=CharQuote]"You wanna know more about me? Well, um... let's see..."[/div][/div][div class=MainBody style="margin-top: 30px; margin-bottom: 30px;"][div class=Title]Personality[/div] [div class=BottomBorder][/div]
[div class=p]Boisterous / One of the first things you'll probably notice about Chase is his excitability. While he tries not to overwhelm people with it, it usually becomes clear after spending any time with how hard it is for him to hide. He's just naturally an emotional person, and that usually manifests in a cheery and eccentric demeanor. He has a lot to be happy about, and he’s always eager to share that with anyone who will let him. To that end, he’s friendly and kind, chatty and ready to talk about or do whatever’s on his mind, no matter how outlandish it is. He’s a little odd too, so he can get pretty weird, but as long as you keep him on track, he’s pretty easy to be around.[/div] [div class=p]Careless / Chase tends to get ahead of himself in everything he does. He's not good at holding himself back, which usually causes him some trouble. Especially when the most fun and appealing and activities to him are the most dangerous. There’s nothing quite as exciting as the prospect of death, right? Luckily, he’s managed to keep himself from anything over his head thus far, but he’s young, reckless, and vital, so that’s subject to change at a moment’s notice.[/div] [div class=p]Clingy / Though it's not something Chase likes admitting, even to himself, he’s not really comfortable with how much time he spends alone. He craves the company and attention of other people, and when has has it, it’s hard for him to let it go. He just doesn’t get it often. He is, however, deeply affectionate and loyal, and will do just about anything for anyone who’s willing to spend their time with him. Just don’t expect to get away from him easily when you have to leave.[/div] [div class=p]Temperamental / He manages to stay positive most of the time, but rub him the wrong way, and Chase can change moods quickly. It’s not really a choice for him, either. He feels everything strongly, including negative emotions, usually with severe consequences. For example, while he generally wouldn’t want to hurt anyone normally, that changes when he’s angry. He knows violence is rarely the answer, but it can be hard for him not to resort to it, especially when it’s one of the only ways he knows how to calm down. He doesn’t want to hurt people who don’t deserve it, though, and will generally try to try anything else first. When he can think to, anyway.[/div][/div][/div][div class="content contentHistory hidden"][div class=MainBody][div class=CharIcon style="background: url(https://i.imgur.com/eZ4khFt.png) no-repeat;"][/div][div class=CharQuote]"H-History? That's not important, is it? Let's live in the now!"[/div][/div][div class=MainBody style="margin-top: 30px; margin-bottom: 30px;"][div class=Title]History[/div] [div class=BottomBorder][/div]
[div class=p]Chase grew up in a large family, who lived in a small town near the capitol of Tassara. While he’d always had many cousins, aunts, and uncles, the only immediate family he’s ever known is father. What happened to his mother, he doesn’t really know, nor does he have any siblings, to his knowledge. It’s always just been him and his father. Which, Chase was always perfectly happy with. Although it was always a bit hard for him to keep his father’s - with him usually being out somewhere for work, or at home and tired from it - when they did interact, nothing made him happier. Unfortunately, Chase could only be with him so often; when he had to be at work, he stayed with his relatives. Which wasn’t a problem, at first. Even if they were a little rougher with him at times, more strict about what he could and couldn’t do, his father would always come home and make sure he was okay.[/div] [div class=p]The problem only came with the start of the war. When his father became a soldier, when he couldn’t back to check on him anymore. Chase was only eleven at the time. He stayed with one of his uncles who hadn’t had to leave to fight, and his kids. He’d never really gotten along well with any of them, but when he started having to live with them, things only got worse. His relatives were a rowdy and irreverent bunch; they believed in getting what they wanted from life through force, and tried to teach Chase the same. When his cousins pushed him around, he was expected to push back. If he cried and complained, he deserved it; they weren’t allowed to seriously hurt him, and if he had a problem with how they he was treated otherwise, then it was his problem. He needed to try harder to beat them.[/div] [div class=p]Unfortunately, that lesson gradually extended to his older relatives, too. Chase had always been somewhat exempt from his relative’s stricter rules while his father was around, but with the man gone, he was expected to adhere to them to the letter, which was troublesome. It wasn’t that he was a particularly defiant child - at least, more than any boy his age - but rather, he was just… forgetful and naive. The things he was expected to do, no matter how many times he’d been expected to do them before, often just slipped his mind. He just… also was not a good student, and despite trying to be taught, it didn’t seem as if he had a mind for any sort of study. So, over time, his relatives gradually lost what patience they had for him, and started treating him more roughly in expressing their disappointment with him. The longer the war dragged on, the more their disappointment became resentment, escalating into outright abuse, under the guise of teaching him how to fight, since ‘that was the only thing he good for’, supposedly.[/div] [div class=p]The were some signs of it, in occasional scars or bruise he’d get somewhere visible, but when and if the people around town noticed, they didn’t say anything to him. Not that that surprised him. His family was compromised by most of the strongest people in his town, especially with the war going on, and everyone knew they didn’t take well to being interfered with. Besides that, it was nobody’s problem but his own. He couldn’t understand exactly why he was treated so roughly, but he was determined to get better; to make his relatives proud of him, or at least like him. Or, barring even that, at least waiting for the day his father would come back for him. Whenever that would be.[/div] [div class=p]He tried, but it was hard, living like that. He managed to stick it out for awhile, but by fifteen, he’d had enough. One day, after getting into a fight with his uncle and getting beaten for it pretty severely, he snuck out. He took some money, even knowing it’d get him hurt worse later, and snuck away to the capitol. He didn’t care where he went, or what he did while he was there; he just wanted a break from his relatives and the town he’d lived in for forever. He wanted an adventure. He didn’t end up finding much of that there, but he did end up finding what he needed, instead; a little bit of luck and some unexpected kindness.[/div] [div class=p]The kindness came in the form nice older couple and the restaurant they owned. Not really knowing where to go, Chase had figured he’d at least stop to get something to eat while he was out, and so happened to end up in their company. Of course, upon seeing the state he was in, they were rather upset. They sat him down, let him eat, and bombarded him with a lot of questions, which Chase didn’t really know how to answer. He hadn’t intended to bother them with the details, but by the end of the conversation, his responses (and silence, in places) made clear what he wouldn’t say about his familial situation. And so, the couple insisted he stay with them. They didn’t have much in the way of extra income, but they were appalled about how he’d been left, and felt strongly about making sure he didn’t return home. Chase was conflicted about leaving his only family, especially when he had no idea when his father would be returning, but in the end, accepted their offer, and stayed with them from then on.[/div] [div class=p]He didn’t just want to take advantage of their kindness, however, and decided to do what he could for them in return. That so happened to be helping them out around their restaurant. He was reluctant to do any more than cleaning at first, thinking he wasn’t smart enough to learn anything so complex as cooking, but with a gentle and patient teacher, it was something he actually managed to get the hang of. He honestly enjoyed it, and with hard work, managed to get really good. It wasn’t easy work, but he honestly enjoyed the challenge, and found it to be really satisfying work. It wasn’t at all like fighting - and it didn’t scratch that bloodlust that his family had instilled in him - but it made him happy anyway, which was all he’d really wanted. That, combined with having two people who actually seemed to care about him, made his life seem to turn around for the better.[/div] [div class=p]Chase still had lingering, unresolved anger, though, and some tendencies and habits he couldn’t quite shake. He’d lived getting pushed around so long that it was a little hard for him to adjust to a busy place like the capitol. It made him look prickly and sensitive, and it made his peers nervous, in not really understanding how to be around him. He ended up getting into some severe fights around town - over some big things, like watching people get harassed, or even seemingly smaller ones, like just being touched for too long. No matter the reason, it was problem for him. His luck fortunately kept his consequences from being too severe, like trouble with the law, but unfortunately, it kept him somewhat lonely, when he really wanted to make friends, despite his difficulties. Regardless, over time, he worked hard to try and keep a hold on his temper, and when he finally started to adjust and believe in his new, calm life, he became calmer, too.[/div] [div class=p]Things got better when the end of the war finally came, too. When the older couple’s children came back, there were enough people to work the other jobs around the restaurant, so Chase could be a cook full time. It was something they were happy to let him do, too, since, just getting back, they returning crew more than happy to work the comparatively less demanding jobs. It made him happy, and it kept him busy, which was all he wanted. That, and to see his father again. Fortunately, as some force would have it, on his way home, Chase’s father happened to pass through the capitol, and his way met up with Chase. After a reunion, and a little explanation of how things had changed, Chase’s father moved closer to the capitol too, and he and Chase were reunited at last.[/div] [div class=p]It wasn’t as easy for the two of them to get along then, with so many things having changed since they’d last seen each other, but Chase did understand the need to give his father some time to readjust. So, he continued to live with the couple who’d taken him in, and he and his father worked slowly to rebuild their relationship over the past year. Chase is seventeen now, and it’s been hard in the meantime to not really have someone he can feel especially close to, especially since he'd expected to have that with his father being back, but otherwise, he's content. Chase likes the life he has now. It's peaceful when it needs to be, and he can find something exciting to do when it doesn't. He doesn’t want to ask for anything more than that, because he doesn’t want to be selfish, but… if he could just happen to meet someone to share his happiness with, he thinks that would be nice.[/div][/div][/div][div class="content contentOther hidden"][div class=MainBody][div class=CharIcon style="background: url(https://i.imgur.com/LA02tJq.png) no-repeat;"][/div][div class=CharQuote]"Hang on, we're forgetting some stuff, aren't we?"[/div][/div][div class=MainBody style="margin-top: 30px;"][div class=Title]Relationships[/div] [div class=BottomBorder][/div]
[div class=p]Fridrik and Holly Oakes / The couple who took Chase in. They’ve already raised quite a few children, but have still grown to adore and treat Chase like one of their own. They are, in some ways, more like parents to him than his father is, though he tries not to think of them that way. He refers to them as ‘Mr. and Mrs. Oakes’ respectively, and in general, tries to keep a polite distance. In his mind, they already have family, and he isn’t it.[/div] [div class=p]Edward Hauer / Chase’s father. Although there is a strong resemblance between the two of them, they couldn’t be more different. Their clashing values occasionally result in fights, but they care very deeply about each other, and have worked to get along better as of late. The two of them do work though, and Chase is still living with the Oakes, so they don’t see each other much, resulting in some continued distance between them.[/div][/div][div class=MainBody style="margin-top: 30px;"][div class=BodyImage style="background: url(https://i.imgur.com/CxX1toT.png) no-repeat; background-position: 40% 100%;"][/div][/div][div class=MainBody style="margin-top: 30px; margin-bottom: 30px;"][div class=Title]Extras[/div] [div class=BottomBorder][/div]
[div class=p]Chase can’t read very well. He’s made a few attempts at improving in the past, but not a lot of it stuck with him. He’d still like to try and get better, but he’s not too worried about it at the moment. After all, why would someone like him need to be able to read?[/div] [div class=p]While Chase isn't poor necessarily, he can't really afford much in the way of luxuries. The Oakes try to make sure he has everything he needs, but they can't pay him much beyond that, as their restaurant doesn't usually make too much, and they do still support their children in some ways. That's alright by Chase, though. He's happy with what he has, and the things he wants rarely come with a price tag, anyway.[/div][/div][/div][/div][/div][div class=SideBorder][/div][div class=SideBoxRight][div class=SideTitle]chase hauer[/div][div class=MobileProfileBox][div class=MobileProfileImage][/div][/div][div class=ScrollRight]"i get wherever I'm going, i get whatever I need / while my blood's still flowing, and my heart's still / beating like a hammer, beating like a hammer" - ★[/div][div class=BottomSideBorder][/div][div class=Buttons style="margin-top: 20px;"][div class=tabLink]Introduction[/div][/div][div class=Buttons][div class=tabLink]Personality[/div][/div][div class=Buttons][div class=tabLink]History[/div][/div][div class=Buttons][div class=tabLink]Other[/div] [/div][/div][/div][/div][/div] [div class=Gradient style="background: linear-gradient(transparent, white); margin-top: -35px;"][/div]

[div class=p style="text-indent: 0px; font-size: 14px;"]Name: Khalida Daher
Nickname: Khal
Age: Twenty-six
Role: The Guard
Status: Middle Class
Origin: Tassara
Height: 5’10ft / 177cm
Weight: 145lbs / 65kg[/div] [div class=p style="text-indent: 0px; font-size: 14px;"]Description: A tall and muscular woman with a confident posture. She's usually in the ornate and well-kept uniform of Tassara's royal guard, and it's always in stark contrast to her almost irreverently casual demeanor. When she's not on duty, however, she blends in well with a crowd, as cleanly and simply dressed as almost anyone else. As a result, she's definitely what most people would consider approachable.[/div][/div][div class=MainBody style="margin-top: 30px;"]

[/div][div class=MainBody style="margin-top: 30px; margin-bottom: 50px;"][div class=Subtitle]Skills & Interests[/div] [div class=BottomBorder style="height: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px;"][/div]
[div class=p]Fighting / In general, Khal's good in a fight. While she's best hand-to-hand, she's certainly no slouch with most weapons. That fact, combined with her defensive ability, makes her a serious threat on the battlefield. If she didn't have one serious weakness, she would easily place as one of the best fighters in Tassara. That being said...[/div] [div class=p]Women / 'Women' in general might be considered an odd interest, but they're certainly one for Khal. She spends maybe more time than she should interacting - or thinking about interacting - with them. She just tends to like them more. Of course, she's personable in general, so she'll hang out and chat with just about anyone, but if she's not with one currently, it's just statistically likely she's thinking about meeting a lady. Even when she probably shouldn't be.[/div] [div class=p]Drinking / This also shouldn't really be an interest of hers, but since she spends most of her free time looking for a good time, it's really no surprise. It's not that she's an alcoholic or anything; it's really just a social activity for her. However... like with most things, she can tend to get carried away at it if she's not careful, so, she's cut back on it in the past year, just to be safe. She'd rather not lose her job to the dumb things she tends to do under the influence, thanks.[/div][/div][/div][div class="content contentPersonality hidden"][div class=MainBody style="margin-top: 60px;"][div class=SideBy style="width: 12%;"]

[/div] [div class=SideBy style="width: 85%;"][div class=CharQuote]"What you see is what you get. What else is there to know?"[/div][/div][/div][div class=MainBody style="margin-top: 30px; margin-bottom: 50px;"][div class=Subtitle]Personality[/div] [div class=BottomBorder style="height: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px;"][/div]
[div class=p]Affable / Most people who meet Khal tend to like her, and there’s no secret as to why. Khal is warm and personable by nature, able to get along with just about anyone. Additionally, she’s confident and candid, and that tends to attract attention, for better or worse. Because, while she’s easygoing most of the time, she is her own person, and not afraid of conflict. She has a bad habit of inviting it, in fact, where it seems to be deserved. She’s self-determined, and not afraid to tell say what she thinks is wrong. She’s just as stubborn, too, so if you have a mind to go against her, she’s not an easy fight. But, above all else, she tries to stay kind and sympathetic, so if you want do things right - at least, how she sees it - you’ll definitely have her support.[/div] [div class=p]Chivalrous / Not really in the way you would expect, but then, Khal is a rather untraditional woman to begin with. She’s never been good at, or has seen much use for, a facade of formality. But, in her own way, she’s still… proper. She thinks there’s a right way to approach life, and she’s steadfast in going about it. What she believes is generally a little iffy, but it tends to involve a modesty and respect akin to, as the trait suggests, chivalry. Be brave, don’t bother people unnecessarily, and be proactive in protecting and acting charitably toward those who seem to need it...that sort of thing. In her mind, though, it’s just common sense, and anyone who’s not doing it already needs to be straightened out. After all, doing the right thing isn’t that hard, right?[/div] [div class=p]Impulsive / Khal's always done whatever works, and what works is quick, confident, and decisive action. It's better just to get things done, so she's going to leap to doing them, whether or not there's a need for deeper introspection, first. Ergo, if a plan isn't absolutely vital, she's probably just going to wing it. Things have tended to work out for her that way, but she has definitely caused a few complications by not thinking things through.[/div] [div class=p]Practical / It's definitely a trait that's developed in her more recently, but with the passage of time, Khal's gotten more practical. In the past, she's been far more radical, and while she still has the spirit in her, it's been tempered by the world, somewhat. She's grown more into believing in the necessity of tough decisions, and of doing things to upkeep a bitter but beneficial status quo. She hasn't totally accepted it, and the conflict of it makes her uncomfortable when it comes up, but as of right now, it seems to be the way things have to be. If someone has to make sure things run smoothly, Khal has a mind to do it. Even if she has to bitch and moan about it the whole way.[/div][/div][/div][div class="content contentHistory hidden"][div class=MainBody style="margin-top: 60px;"][div class=SideBy style="width: 12%;"]

Weight: 117lbs / 53kg[/div] [div class=p style="text-indent: 0px; font-size: 14px;"]Description: a short and petite young woman with wide eyes. these days she's usually dressed to the nines in an almost impractical fashion, but she still walks with a seemingly easy grace. with soft hair and delicate features, it's obvious she's of a privileged upbringing. her subtle yet regal demeanor, on top of everything else, would make it hard to notice her timidity, if she could better hold peoples' gazes.[/div][/div][div class=MainBody style="margin-top: 30px;"]

[div class=p]botany / eva had to find other ways to fill the time she was too scared to use socially, and somehow, she landed on botany. which nobody has ever questioned too harshly. after all, isn’t it natural for young girls to have interest in gardening and pretty flowers? those are not the only things under the purview of botany, of course, but as far as eva’s parents understand, that’s the extent of her interest. and eva prefers it that way, as some of her studies are… not so safe. it's fine, though. she’s responsible with it. generally.[/div] [div class=p]hiking / of course eva, with an interest in botany, likes to stomp around in the woods. as much as she can, anyway. hiking, however, is an interest of her’s her parents are not so thrilled about. but because eva has kass, and because eva’s presence, or lack thereof, has tended to go unnoticed in the past, her trips have tended to slide by without much fuss. which she’s found to be a blessing, since they’re a much needed getaway from the pressures of social functions and academics. unfortunately, she’s had less time to enjoy it lately, with her persona and personal life as the firstborn princess becoming more relevant now that she’s older.[/div] [div class=p]gods / she doesn’t really remember when it was she took an interest in the gods. just that, when they came up in her studies of the world, the romanticism of them just took root in her mind. there just proved to be something endlessly fascinating about such a previously potent and prescence force of a bygone era. over time, her evolved into a study of all things other things classifiable as ‘supernatural’, in a pursuit of some higher understanding of a world that world create unfathomable forces in an otherwise predictable and reliably understandable universe. ...since she rarely turns up much, though, it’s sort of become an excuse for her to goof off.[/div] [div class=p]etiquette / eva is well acquainted with the finer points of etiquette, and indeed, with all of the niceties expected of a princess. the problem is, she finds it all to be either boring or terrifying. it’s easy enough, if rather droll, to remember the names and proper addresses of her kingdom’s allies, but it’s another thing entirely to have to actually put it all to use. either way, it’s all painful to deal with. however, she does her best with it, and generally manages to succeed in her position with unparalleled grace. it’s only when it comes time for her to speak candidly does she tend to have trouble.[/div][/div][/div][div class="content contentPersonality hidden"][div class=MainBody style="margin-top: 60px;"][div class=SideBy style="width: 12%;"]

[/div] [div class=SideBy style="width: 85%;"][div class=CharQuote]"i'm... well...i'll... i'll try to find the right words?"

[div class=p]Timid / It’s always been hard for Eva to muster much confidence. It’s less an issue of self-esteem for her, however, and more of a fear of other people’s reactions. She knows she can lose a lot by saying the wrong thing, and so has become somewhat afraid to speak. She’s still required too, of course, and consequently does so with trepidation. She’s able to keep the obviousness of it to a minimum when giving prepared responses, but in personal conversation, especially with strangers, it’s more than apparent. She stutters and backtracks when she speaks, and when things are especially tense, she’s been known to shut down or run away from interactions entirely. People just scare her, really. If you want a full conversation, you would do well to speak gently to her.[/div] [div class=p]Magnanimous / Eva’s empathetic. She’s perceptive enough to notice potential problems and to recognize hardship. And, as someone’s who rather quiet herself, she feels deeply about issues that might otherwise go unnoticed. So that, combined somewhat with a bit of naivety, has made her into a bit of a bleeding heart. She feels obligated to see all sides of an issue to the best of her ability, even to her detriment. She just doesn’t like being in a position to potentially hurt someone, especially when it’s only to her benefit. After all, if she’s already been blessed with so much, who is she to put hardship on anyone else? She’s so stuck in that mindset, in fact, that it’s hard for her to slight even those who might be taking advantage of her. Needless to say, it would take quite a lot to make her act in her own defense, and even then, don’t expect much. Unless you’re a danger to someone else, that is.[/div] [div class=p]Sensitive / You have to understand, Eva tries really hard. Everything she does is a bit of a drain, but she keeps going with her best out of a perceived moral and social duty. But, with so much pressure already on her, it’s no surprise that it doesn’t take much more than that to get her to crack. She’s honestly delicate in that way, receptive to criticism to maybe a fault. She believes more than she should, and the weight of other’s opinions weigh heavy to her. She wants to believe in herself and her opinions firmly, but she rarely has much in the way of support, and so tends to concede quickly in the face of criticism, even when she’s fairly sure she’s right. It’s something she’s always seeked to improve on, but has always found terribly difficult, especially now. With an unassertive demeanor and an uncertainty in herself, it’s painfully easy to fall away from conflict with an excuse about her reputation or the accommodating personality expected of a queen.[/div] [div class=p]Curious / Beneath her shell of timorousness, Eva actually has quite a vibrant personality. She’s otherwise rather full of life, and while she’s been pushed down a bit by the world on her shoulders, she really wants to enjoy the parts of her life that are her own. The way she does that is through inquisitiveness. Although she’s already managed to figure out quite a bit about the world around her, she’s always looking to know more. Nothing delights her more than finding out something new, and if you have some unique knowledge or trade you’re willing to share, she’ll take to learning it with you eagerly. It’s the fastest way to get her to open up, in fact, and in her, you’ll find someone fun-loving, honest, and even goofy.[/div][/div][/div][div class="content contentHistory hidden"][div class=MainBody style="margin-top: 60px;"][div class=SideBy style="width: 12%;"]

[div class=p]eva's born as the second child to svel's royal family. her parents are kind of already busy doting over her brother by then so, while eva's loved, she sort of falls on the wayside a bit. there's not a lot special about her at first glance - she's not meeting any milestones early or late, and she's obedient, so she's easy to kind of leave on the wayside with her caretakers while the king and queen attend to other things. so, from the start, she's doesn’t see them a lot, and starts having to find other things to do to fill time. it kind of hurts her feelings a bit, especially when she can sort of see they favor her brother, and her other siblings when they’re born, but she just sort of comes to accept it, and just sort of finds herself believing that she’s not particularly special.[/div] [div class=p]it doesn’t get to her too much at first, though. and yeah, she searches for other things to do. she could try to hang out with her siblings, but it’s hard to understand them, and they get frustrated with her sometimes, so it’s just easier to find stuff to do on her own. she tries a lot of ‘traditional’ hobbies ruling class women tend to take - like painting and dancing, which she actually enjoys - but the problem is being inside all day is kind of boring to a kid, and especially one without much company, so she finds herself drawn to the outside a lot. there’s a lot of beautiful scenery outside of the palace, and though she isn’t allowed to go far, she can make a lot of fun stories and games with just the world she finds immediately outside her window. she’s always itching to explore more, though.[/div] [div class=p](thinking 10-11, kass would be 18-19, eva being 11 would be a year before the war) her parents introduce her to kass at and tell her he’ll be looking out for her in the future. at first she’s really nervous around him, probably doesn’t speak to him much at all (‘if i ignore him will he stop noticing me, too?) but i think she starts to warm up to him quickly. for a lot of reasons - she’s young and she does genuinely want friends and kass is nice - but she probably gets permission to go out once she has him, and she’d definitely be really appreciative of that, since, it’s basically him giving her the world.[/div] [div class=p]she’d probably only get closer to him once the war starts, too. she’s a bright young girl, so i imagine that she understands what’s happening to some extent early, and it’s probably scary. i imagine she’d probably have some sort of phase about it, of worrying about the danger and wondering why some people have no part in it. i think that evolves over time into feeling a sense of responsibility and obligation; to that point i think she would sort of bemoan the lifestyle she has that prevents her from doing things she actually likes, but it dawns on her that people are dying for her country, and that makes her feel guilty. she starts to feel like, if she’s not doing the same, then she feels as if she at least be contributing in the way that she can: by being the princess, and by doing a very good job at it. she starts getting serious about doing that and doing it well, taking etiquette more seriously, and doing what she can in regards to covering and making up for her hearing.[/div] [div class=p]but more than that, it leads her to the belief that that’s just what she’s obligated to do, by having the privilege to be born into royalty. she thinks it would be better, however, to do something more meaningful with what she has. so she starts trying to use her hobbies for a better purpose. she starts getting more meaningful in her fun little inquiries of the woods and starts seriously trying to understand botany, horticulture, and gardening as practices. and she starts studying the gods - for many reasons, but practically, to understand their effect on svel’s past, as a means of navigating svel’s future where there aren’t as heavy an influence.[/div] [div class=p]after awhile, that sort of naturally extends to more things of a supernatural/magical nature, since the gods seem to tie into witches, and the more arcane and unknown. (since she never ends up turning up much in that department, though, it eventually becomes an excuse to goof off from the pressure of princess-y things, which she ends up having to do more and more as she gets older.)[/div] [div class=p]the reality of her position as the firstborn princess probably doesn’t hit her until her arrangement to be married is set, though. it’s kind of her first step into adulthood, and it sort of feels to her like a ticking clock on a lot of her interests. at a certain point, she’s going to be asked to be the pinnacle of respectability at all times, and that probably means foregoing things that seem unproper or frivolous. it’s a big unknown for her, she doesn’t really know what to expect, or what’s going to happen. but going into it, she really wants to do her best, and try to make this marriage as good as could be. because amel’s around her age, and handsome, so she’s luckier than a lot of queens have been. but she’s still pretty intimidated by him.[/div] [div class=p]...uh i’ll probably have a really snappy ending when i properly write this out but in summary: eva’s doing her best, y’all[/div][/div][/div][div class="content contentOther hidden"][div class=MainBody style="margin-top: 60px;"][div class=SideBy style="width: 12%;"]

[Aukanai]

Port Noarlunga / Dimitri

Briefing;
● Port Noarlunga / Dimitri Hayne’ [1]
● No name god - god of fate
● Age unknown
Origin God
● One of the four ‘Origin’ gods [2]
● A no name god who is known to very few - either as the god of fate, the god of luck or the god of light [3]
Expertise
● Short term Time Manipulation
● Light manipulation
● Freerunning - Parkour

Persona;
gentle // Port is a very soft spoken and gentle individual. Often presented to be a kind and compassionate man who is loyal to the ones he had committed his time and energy to. However, because Port often takes things slow and easy, and often outspoken, he can be easily pressured into doing something.

detached // port is friendly on the surface, though despite his shyness, but more often than not it tends to back out of being apart of any sort of relationship. Because he is a god and has lived for centuries, seeing one of the most important people to him die was heartbreaking [4]. Though, while he tends to steer clear, there are times he can’t help but like someone and want to be closer to them. Due to his inner conflict with himself, he can be hesitant in his words and actions.

lifeguard // port is not one to participate willingly in battle nor is he one to encourage violence. He believes in peaceful solutions that doesn’t require anyone being punched. And while he doesn’t like to harm others, should it be necessary, he will intervened for the sake of a friend.

abilities ;
time manipulation // it is not as if he rewind time or fast forward time, but rather, he can put in a state of pause. People and inanimate objects are simply frozen in place. He is the supposed ‘god of fate’ due to him moving people and object on purpose when using this power to create a situation that would ultimately initiate ‘an act of fate’.

light manipulation - it is used in a minor capacity, but port can manipulate natural light to become brighter or darker, as well as manipulate the direction it is shining.

See through my eyes // a very odd power that can transfer Port’s memories into replayed scene in the other person’s mind. What they would see would be a very vivid scene unfolding in front of them, as if they were there. It is Port’s way of providing evidence of the truth.

Power shift // only can be used when he is contracted, and it usually causes Port’s body to just shut down. He can shift a large portion, but not all, of his power to temporarily infused with the other person in the contract.

freerunning // a skill he has trained thoroughly due to past conflict and other issues. It is skill used to be for a flight rather than fight decision. Additionally, due to his small frame, it is often that port can easily hide himself away in small places.

Relationships;
Tba

Footnotes:
[1] Port Noarlunga is his full name, but he often only introduces him just as ‘Port’. It is a sort of seal on him, should anyone say his full name, where it would create an ‘instant contract’. He doesn’t tend to explain this beforehand due to the fact of people doing the opposite when he asks them not to. His freedom is somewhat limited when he is in contract, as he can’t physically be too far from the one who he is contracted to without some nasty consequences.
Dimitri Hayne is an alias he uses to blend into society. He is a god and very aware of the witches around him. Due to some witches having thoroughly studied the gods and the Book of Records, should he say his name, they might know exactly who he is. As such, Dimitri is a studying herbalist.

[2] In the earth’s beginning days, there were only four gods, Port being among them. [ Mother Earth, Father Time and Brother Chaos being the other three ]

[3] He is the god of fate for initiating chance encounters or opportunities for people, however most of such acts of fate are often positive changes, making him also known as the god of luck. He is the original god of light - or rather, the god of truth, before Jul came into existence.

[4] he had a close friendship with the first king of svel, Draniar and often helped him out in his mission to claim svel. But after draniar’s assassination, port became distance to everyone and tried not to get close to anyone. He was afraid of losing someone again and feeling that heartbreak.

- sixteen

- from svel, works for the palace as a personal servant to the second prince.

- got his job through deception, since, being a nobody from a poor household, he probably never would’ve been considered for it, otherwise.

- he can use fire, obviously. he’s tried to keep it a secret, since he really just thinks his power is inconvenient and embarrassing. he’s never had the time or place to practice with it, and most of the times he’s used it, it’s been entirely by accident. he’s worried if anyone found out, they’d look at him a little too hard and find out he’s not actually supposed to be here, or they’d fire him for being a danger or a fire hazard or something.

- his backstory is mostly the same from hysterical up and to the war - instead of leaving alone, his mentor decided to take jacek with him, since jacek was younger here, and his mentor wasn’t sure the troupe was actually going to take care of him as much as they needed to. the guy didn’t join the army, obviously; instead, he went around taking up jobs that the people leaving for war left behind. or, that was the pretense, since he was mostly just running schemes. the two of them never stayed in one place for too long because, surprise, the guy was trying to escape debts his debtors were looking to make good on with the war here and the economy suffering for it.

jacek really didn’t notice it at first, because he was pretty young and sort of just got used to it, but as he got older he started to get a little worried that something was wrong, especially as he realized what they were doing wasn’t so… ethical? so jacek’s mentor pulled off a long and pretty ambitious con by convincing the palace jacek was from a really good family. and since jacek was already pretty well-spoken and smart, nobody really looked at it too hard, and they put him to work. jacek thought it was supposed to be a temporary thing, but that was the last time he saw his mentor, and he’s been trying to keep up appearances/figure out what to do next since.

- he wants to be a scriptwriter, since he knows this sort of thing isn’t set to last, but he wants to actually finish a script first, and that’s kind of hard to do when he’s usually busy working.

- twenty-five

- lives in svel and travels occasionally, originally from mear.

- works as a physician, but is studying a few other subjects.

- people who’ve been burned by him look at his standing and what he knows and his questionable past and have come to the conclusion he might be a witch, but that’s not the case. he wish he knew a witch. that’d be so useful...

- debonair, cunning, narcissistic, sort of has a flair for the dramatic in terms of gesturing. he seems (maybe a little domineeringly) friendly, unless you’re a particularly good judge of character, in which case, you’ll probably notice there’s a purpose to his showmanship. he’s definitely got the kind of smile people really like or think is smug and annoyingly fake. either way, he after awhile, you’ll always get the impression he’s got something he’s hiding, but what and how much, he’ll never let on.

in private, he’s sort of neurotically obsessed with productivity. he’ll do whatever would seem like something people would find interesting, even if he doesn’t actually find it interesting himself. if he’s not constantly doing something, he can fall into bouts of depression about... everything, nebulously believing that his house of cards is going to come crumbling down at any minute and wondering if he deserves that and it's just easier to keep busy.

- used to jump from partner to partner to gain a foothold in society, but now does it just because he can. he’s a bit of a ho, but really only because he likes how it makes him look. he’s had men and women at his arm (and vice versa), but certain people wonder if he’s gay. it’s hard to say, and cato doesn’t particularly care to make the distinction, since he really doesn’t like setting anything about his identity in stone. in his mind, he is what it’s convenient to be.

- again, originally from mear. lived in a nuclear family with two older siblings, worked on a farm. he never really liked it. it was dreary work, they were poor, he never got along with his siblings. the only respite he had was his free time (which he didn’t get a lot of), where he could go and hang out with other people. he was good at making friends and managed to meet a lot of different types of people, including some of mear’s wealthier people. it made him jealous, and even more bitter of the life he had, so after a lot of fights with his parents and youthful rebellion, he ran away to svel with an affluent girlfriend at sixteen.

it worked out for them for two years, until it didn’t. or rather, the girl finally ended up telling him in no ambiguous terms that there was no way their relationship could go anywhere, since cato wasn’t anyone special. which mostly ended up making him pretty bitter. he’d just wanted something better. but he targeted his grievance at the social system that wanted to ensure he’d be at the bottom his whole life. so, he seriously dedicated himself to climbing up by any means. which kind of meant meeting dating other affluent people and making a reputation for himself outside of… that poor boy from mear.

since he was handsome and smart, it worked out for him pretty well, and after awhile of sort of… being subtly vague about his past was to the people he was introduced to, he gained a reputation as someone reputable by the company he kept. and over a long period of schmoozing, he even managed to get a real education and learn the things he’d always wanted to know, and made a name for himself on his own merits. which ended up culminating into him dating a svellian noble at twenty-two.

it was the second relationship he’d had that had lasted for more than a year and it actually lasted for three years. but it wasn’t a good one. not by the end. but this time he didn’t really want to let go of it, because this was the life he’d wanted, right? he had what he thought was love, and he’d made it to what was essentially as high as he could go, being with nobility. the rest of it didn’t matter to him, and he was willing to suffer anything to stay where he was. but in the end, after a fight that left him pretty badly injured, his fiance broke it off, and he was alone again, his dream pretty much over.

he had a pretty mixed response to it, still sort of in love and pretty badly falling out of it. over time, it made him sort of detest the lifestyle he’d made for himself, because it wasn’t really satisfying him anymore. it didn’t feel like enough anymore. he felt like he could just be thrown to the side at any moment, and he didn’t really like that. so, instead of the idle hedonism he’d sort of been indulging, he started cultivating the intrigue he’d learned over the years and doing something useful with it. he used other people’s secrets as potential blackmail and made himself untouchable. he went from someone people adored to someone people feigned adoration for out of a vague fear of what he knows.

and that’s what he tells himself he wants. and that’s what he’ll keep doing, for as long as he can stomach it. then he’ll probably try something else.

- was away from mear when mear was devastated, obviously. he still hasn’t really… dealt with it, at all. when it happened he wasn’t really close with anyone from mear and he didn’t really want to mess up any of his relationships by crying all over some he barely knew about something they wouldn’t understand. so he just kept it to himself. and he’s still keeping it to himself. he thinks about it as minimally as possible and distances himself from it a lot. he doesn’t really think about himself as being ‘from mear’ anymore. if he just lives in the lie he tells other people, he doesn’t have to deal with the reality.
