History:
[PAST]
It was a rainy day, when he had met his owner.
A stray dog was all he was before he met her.
She stood before him, with her pale fingers reaching towards him. Her golden eyes reflected back the hunger for power that he had in his own.
"A loyal dog" was what he was to be. In return she had promised to make him a "god" that would be able to complete a feat that no human was able to do before.
The first task was to sweep away the "obstacles" that were in her way to become the sovereign of the country that was rightfully hers.
Crowns fell into puddles of blood, jewels fell into piles of human organs, and the greedy eyes of the obstacles soon turned into foggy lenses.
The second task was to erase any form of emotions he held. Love, fear, hatred, happiness, sadness...were obstacles in his owner's eyes.
A "loyal dog" was what she wanted. Not a sentimental creature that could play with her feelings.
The third task was the gather the materials for her "project". The materials were a bit strange. Innocent creatures with eyes bulging with fears. Noblemen's children, still lying in their silk nightgowns and pearl necklaces. But "gold and silver" no matter how beautiful, were still needed for the project.
For the final task...she asked him to...become a god.
"The London Bridge is I. Someone will try to steal the "gold and silver". Would a 'loyal dog' allow a thief to steal away their master's limbs? You are to be my Watchman. My immortal Watchman. And didn't I tell you, my loyal dog, that I would keep my promise?"
Her breath, eyes, hands, and lips were cold.
The throne room was colder than usual that day.
From somewhere in the room he heard her voice.
"I'm sorry, my Watchman. My times has come sooner than expected."
The men in white and masks entered the room with strange white devices.
Soon the room became colder. His first thought was that Winter was earlier than usual.
Soon he couldn't move. He couldn't see. He couldn't speak. He couldn't feel.
He had become a god.
(Basically they froze him so that he would wake up in time to rebuild the London Bridge since the Queen already predicted its destruction.)
[Present]
There was a great fire during his Winter sleep. It had burned her down.
The Queen's final orders rang in his head. "Rebuild my body each time it rots."
"The time has come to bring in the new gold and silver, my queen."
The masked dog walked away from the tomb of his master, vowing to return to her side when the task was completed.
Build it up with silver and gold,
Silver and gold, silver and gold,
Build it up with silver and gold,
My fair lady.
Silver and gold will be stolen away,
Stolen away, stolen away,
Silver and gold will be stolen away,
My fair lady.
Set a man to watch all night,
Watch all night, watch all night,
Set a man to watch all night,
My fair lady.
Suppose the man should fall asleep,
Fall asleep, fall asleep,
Suppose the man should fall asleep?
My fair lady.
Give him a pipe to smoke all night,
Smoke all night, smoke all night,
Give him a pipe to smoke all night,
My fair lady

Eye for an eye
Great information, and something I can definitely work with. Sorry for the delay, I will have the character sheet up in a moment with this edited post; I, at the very least, wanted to inform you I am working on it. Also, I'm assuming they would be fairly young, since children are what was used in the construction of the bridge, if I am not mistaken.
Name of reincarnation character: Thomas Clarke
Picture:
Gender: Male
Age: 16 (If that makes sense with the story. I know they are supposed to be 'children', so I'm not sure what range that could entail)
Personality: Thomas has a reserved personality, opening himself up to very few people. He much prefers to keep to himself otherwise, observing others interact rather than partake directly. Observing people as often as he does, he is quick to see through lies and abhors 'fake' people. He may be stubborn at times, but overall his heart tends to be in a good place.
History: Thomas was born to middle-class parents on the East side of London. Though they deeply cared for him, he always seemed to hold a loneliness inside of him. He felt within him a hole that he did not know how to fill. When he was 12 years old, his parents took a trip to the countryside to visit his only aunt, but they're transport was assaulted by criminals. They didn't survive. His heart grew weak, and he suffered bouts of depression and insomnia as a result. Thomas was placed in the care of a family friend, a clock maker, who helped him to cope by teaching him the trade. It wasn't until he met 'her' that things started to change.
Extra Details: Has a weakness for hard candies, can often be caught twirling a finger through his hair absentmindedly, unaware himself that he is even doing it.
Name of past character: Evelyn Moore
Picture:
Gender [should be opposite of reincarnation character]: Female
Age:12
Personality [should be similar to reincarnation one]: Evelyn is quite shy, never taking the initiative to speak to others, much preferring that others approach her. Stubborn and resistant to change, she is untrustworthy of others, mostly due to her life experiences. She tries to not be a nuisance, never wanting to be a bother to others; she wishes everyone to be happy.
History: Daughter to a poor woman in the less fortunate districts of London, she was abandoned at a very early age. Throughout her formative years she was transferred from orphanage to orphanage, the treatment in each seemingly worse than the last. She endured physical and verbal abuse in each, maintaining hope that some someday, someone would take her away from this life. At the age of 10, her tumultuous displacements received a reprieve, being placed in a long-term home for children near the center of London. She became close friends with a boy there, dreaming together of a better life for the both of them.
Extra Details: Will play with her hair when she is nervous, loves anything sweet.

Reincarnation Character Name: Eryla Manchester
Age: 17

Personality: The idea of a "mask of happiness" was enforced into her since she was born. She managed to conceal any dark thoughts or emotions from others, however she had slight moments when she felt as if she was unable to control herself. "Smiling" is all she could do, and "smiling" was all she would do.
History: Born into a wealthy patriarchal family, her birth was not a happy event. As an unwanted daughter of a mistress and a father who only wanted a son, she was forced to be trained into the only line of work she was useful for. Marriage. "A mask of a lady, a doll of the court, manners of a princess". As the years passed, she found herself being tied by the strings of her household, and then...when a boy was born to the main wife...the strings were cut. She was now only broken puppet thrown away into the corner. "Smile, smile, smile!!!" Her mother told her, as she tore her daughter's lips. "Seduce every wealthy man in your sight, and take us away from the shadows." A tool...a smiling doll...was all she was. She wished that her ex-puppeteers would quickly die away. "Smile, smile, smile," she sang, as she walk around in her cold chamber. Almost as if someone had listened to her prayers, her mother, father, the main wife, and the boy died in their sleep from food poisoning. Smiling...in their eternal sleep. The remaining relatives feared her power as the only remaining family member of the main household, and immediately sent her away to a nearby noble who did things to her that she could speak of to no one. But she "smiled" constantly, just as her ex-puppeteers told her to. "Emotions", "sincerity", "integrity" were the three things that she forgot, until she met him.

Personality: In the orphanage, he was more or less the "older brother" figure to most of the children who were at least 7 years younger than him. "Smiling" and constant control of emotions were necessary in order to make sure that he didn't harm the children any more than what had already been done to them. A "mask of happiness" was constantly trailing around with him, as he cared for each child whereas the actual caretaker only beat down the children into puddles of whimpering and bleeding monsters. "Smile everyday, and someday the world will smile back at you" was a phrase he lived by, as he struggled to survive through the hard lifestyle of an abandoned orphan in 1176 London, England.
History: He was another one of those children, accidentally born into the miserable slums of the red light district. His mother was a prostitute who had no time/room for children, as she already barely struggling to support herself in the slums of London. At first, she had attempted to keep him, but told him to care for himself if he wished to live with her. Wishing to protect his mother (his only known family member and the only thing he could call his own), he set out for work and was constantly trapped into the dark show business because of his "attractive" smile. One of his co-workers told him "Smile everyday, and someday the world will smile back at you". Naive and young, he believed in the incredibly optimistic phrase before the cruel reality of life was beaten through him. After his mother was brutally murdered in one of the alleyways by one of her zealous clients, he was found roaming around the streets looking a crazed animal, and he was sent to an orphanage at the age of 8. The quote that his co-worker had told him, was the only thing he could depend on to survive through the harsh-reality of life, even though he knew how dirty and cruel the world actually was. One day, he met a girl who was the closest to his age out of the all of the children he had met so far. An innocent and selfless human being...something that he hadn't seen for almost an eternity...he soon found himself finally interested in something in the cage that he was trapped in.
