One on One: under the cover of darkness

Slayer

Crimson Angel
Nerdygeekflower and myself. 
Name: Severa Lockfill


Age: 19


Appearance:
1381763-bigthumbnail.jpg



More about her: She can be very determined, headstrong and passionate about what she’s doing. She has little remorse for the assassinations that she carries out, death is part of the circle of life, it’s a job for her nothing more. She cares very much for her family, is skilled with throwing daggers but not so much in close combat. Severa enjoys warm rain and hates being cold. She keeps her hair short so that it doesn’t get in the way of battle. Finally, there are many scars on her body, the most prominent is the one from her right temple to her cheek, the largest however is on her back running from her left shoulder blade down to the middle of her back. Besides that there are various small ones on her face and arms.


Bio: Severa was raised in the beautiful land of Arson, her mother and father had run a bakery for the small town but that wasn’t all. Her father was a seasoned assassin, he would often leave for days at a time. The man would come back tired, beat, but with enough gold to keep the bakery running smoothly. There hadn’t been enough people in Arson to actually support the small store, no matter how much people would buy it always seemed like it wasn’t enough.


It hadn’t been until the young girl turned eight that her father started training her, /once I’m gone you have to support your mother/ he would say. Severa wasn’t oppose to the training, though rigorous and painful at times she fought hard. By the age of sixteen she was fully trained in the art of throwing daggers, her aim was impeccable, being able to hit a deer in the eye from yards away. Her first assignment was also at the age of sixteen, though her father had come with her at that point.


When she had turned 18 her father told her that he had to go on a long mission, something about the King and assassinating the royal family. A year had passed when they received the letter, her father had become a knight for the King and was killed in battle. Now, Severa must take his place and finish the job. 
Three months has come and gone, living in the castle and working for the royal family had been nothing as Severa had expected, in fact it was much harder work. Scrubbing the floors, making sure that the linens were in order, taking care of the children because the King and Queen were far too busy. There were six little brats(if that’s alright if not let me know) going from the ages of four months to 14, then there had been the older siblings which she didn’t see much of. There had been two more children had been killed a few months before Severa had arrived, twins, ‘trampled by horses’ though she had her own thought that her father may have at least started the mission of killing off the family before he himself had been killed. The thought of her father always brought a smile to her face, no matter how hard the day was she knew that eventually the family would come to an end and she would be the one to do it.


Severa was already planning her first kill, the youngest, four months, suffocation. It was easy enough to have the child roll over onto its stomach and have people believe that it hadn’t been able to roll back and had asphyxiated itself. The next would be the five year old, a little girl who had a passion for climbing trees, would be a shame if she fell from high up and broke her neck.


Yawning, the young woman ran a hand through her rather matted and dirty blond hair, she didn’t get to bathe much unless she wanted to sneak out to the river which she was taking into great consideration. It felt like her skin was covered in an inch of grime, her blue eyes looked down at her hands, scars around the knuckles from various situations and the one in her palm from accidentally stabbing herself. Every one of them seemed to have some kind of memory attached, but now was not the time to dwell. “Severa” a voice called causing the girl to look up as she had been sitting on the floor on the mat that had been provided for sleeping. “Kimi is ill, would you mind waking the children?”


Severa shook her head “no, not at all” she stood up and dusted off the dreary gray dress that she was given to wear. It had been a couple sizes too big and rather uncomfortable but there was no room to complain. Walking down the hall she figured she would start with the youngest child and work her way to the oldest, the younger ones were usually awake at sunrise anyway. Knocking on the doors, ensuring that the children were awake and dressed before they ran down for a bite to eat. It wasn’t until she had finished waking up the 14 year old that she had become a little more apprehensive, the older siblings were ones with more power. They could have her head taken off if they wished and if their father approved, sure Severa would fight against it but the unnecessary conflict was not desired.


Knock-Knock, the servant gently knocked on the door of one of the Prince’s. Waiting for a moment before slowly opening the door “Your Majesty…” her voice was hushed, not many people enjoyed being woke up by a booming voice. Severa should have known what to expect but she hadn’t done her research like she should have and now she was waiting for a grumpy voice or a demand to ‘get the hell out’ like the last one had told her.
 
Name: Neal Nuanamos


Age: 19 or 14? ( I'm okay with either)

Personality


Neal likes to express himself, through art or through music. Neal likes to quietly stay away and ignore people, he is younger than his sister and due to old traditions in his family will never have the throne, so he doesn't really pay attention to royal customs, most visiting royals find him rude. This apparent rudeness is to prevent people from getting to close, if Neal lets you in you, you must be special. You could also easily break him from the inside. It's rare and he doesn't let it happen.Neal often judges on a snap or first impression. You only get one chance with him and he can be rather easily offended. Neal likes to move with the time and flow with whatever is happening around him. He is not the type of person to interrupt something that seems like a good thing, a perfect combination of 'go with the flow' and 'if it ain't broke don't fix it'. On the other hand if he sees something wrong with the 'flow' or general happenings he will by no means keep quiet about it. He is one who will speak his mind and not back down. Neal speaks his mind at all times and generally doesn't filter his thoughts feeling that if people can't handle him inside there is no reason to have them around him. He is kind and gentle, especially towards animals and children.


Bio


Neal was born weak and small, he is not the standard caliber of 'Prince' that the people in his kingdom wanted. Though they pretend to love their slightly sickly and short prince but Neal would tell you that it is all bullshit. He has four elder brothers and will never be king, so he never bothered to learn the 'proper' way to be a prince he also has one younger brother and one younger sister as well. He has been rather pampered all his life and hasn't had many experiences with the real world, until recently he lived a happy uninterpreted life in the palace. But why are his siblings dying? His elder brothers and him never got along but they were still family. He mourned their passing greatly.


(Not as lengthy as yours ^.^' sorry I know how I want to play him though?) 
Neal rolled over on his fluffy bed. "Hrmmm? Come in?" he said to the serving girl who had poked her head in. He didn't know what she wanted. But that was okay He looked from side to side. The curtains were still drawn and the room was dark. Only a single sliver of sunlight crept across the floor. His large Direwolf Mist was lying in it, he must be cold. The Direwolf was a gift from the warrior princess of Tamaran, the one his father wanted him to marry when he turned 20. The crest his family held was a Direwolf and a stag locked in mortal combat. Direwolves were rare and fierce. He was told it was a high praise and treasured gift from the princess. He was just glad to have a friend his brothers were scared of. It kept them from making too much fun of him. Or had. Neal took a deep breath to bring in his grief.


At the sound of the door Mist rose and shook himself and stretched, making a whining noise. Kimi normally brought him a scrap of food form the kitchens, or gave him whatever meat was in Neal's own breakfast if she brought it. Neal refused to eat all meat. Kimi also normally opened the curtains and left. "Kimi?" he called confused. He didn't really get up with his brothers and sister and run down to breakfast, he lingered in bed and ate whatever was left near the end. He pulled himself into a sitting position on his elbows. It was a girl with blonde hair and not Kimi's deep black. "Oh, hello?"

(Don't worry about the length ^^ it was great! Love the Direwolf too!


AS for the age...hmm...Its such a toss up D: Flip a coin? Cause I am fine with either one too)
 
The maid waited for the reply before walking into the room, blue eyes had caught sight of the Direwolf, it wasn't that she was scared of the massive animal but rather curious. She had only saw it a few times and never really up close, walking in she drew the curtains back and forced a smile to her face. At least this one didn't greet her so rudely, "Kimi...is ill at the moment. I'm Severa, its an honour.." she had turned toward the young prince and bowed. "I was instructed to ensure all children were awake..." she glanced toward the wolf again, it may get in the way of the assassination she would have to think of a way to subdue the creature.


Turning her attention back to the prince she took a few steps from the large window, the sunlight from outside now illuminating the room. "Will you be joining the others for breakfast?" she questioned, her hands folding in front of her. Severa didn't know the morning routines of the royal family and Kimi hadn't really ever spoke to her about what she did in the morning. If she had her choice she would have kicked all the little brats downstairs without asking them. Breakfast was the most important meal of the day, children shouldn't have a choice in the matter. Severa was a maid here though, with no amount of authority and thus she tried to keep her mouth shut.
 
((ugh work ran late last night and I just flopped))


Neal rubbed the sleep from his eyes "Oh she's sick? that's awful." Neal had been sick one to many times in his life, he truly felt for those who were ill. "Tell her I send my regards, and tell one of the cooks to make her that soup she made me when I was sick, this winter..." Neal paused and felt the need to clarify "The first time." Neal slipped his legs over the side of the bed. "Mist. Come." The Direwolf leaped to his feet and padded over to stand at Neal's side, Neal wasn't tall but the Dire wolf came up to his waist at the back, and near his chest at the snout. The Wolf was eying Severa suspiciously. "Don't mind Mist, he is wary of all new people, He'll get used to you." Neal paused and laughed, "Unless you have something to hide. Direwolves are smart. More so then other dogs, or wolves. Some say that they are old philosophers reborn." Neal smiled. "I will take breakfast with the others today, Thanks for waking me." Neal headed out Mist at his heals


His brothers were already at the breakfast table eating all the bacon. Neal grabbed some sausage and snatched the last of the bacon for the great grey wolf. His youngest brother muttered something about 'when will he get his direwolf and get all the bacon' and his mother said something about Kennels. Neal refused to lock Mist up and simply let him follow him through the halls, he wouldn't put him in the kennels with the hunting hounds, that was ridiculous. No as far as Neal was concerned he was a member of the family and could sleep in the beds and eat from the table. Plus it gave him an excuse not to have a bodyguard.
 
Severa nodded, "yes it is awful...poor woman just came down with the flu" she spoke gently. Bowing once again as he instructed to have Kimi some soup prepared. He seemed to be quite attached to the woman, who ever heard of a royal actually caring about his maid? However, Severa nodded and would make sure that the woman would be served her soup, though it wouldn't be without a little added bonus. Killing off the maid would give Severa the job of looking after the children and making sure they awoke at the right time, this would allow her to get closer to them which would make it even easier to kill them off. Blue eyes followed after the wolf, she was cautious of it, watching how it moved and its pure muscular build. "I hope he does, he is quite a beautiful creature" she bent down further as if she were bowing at the wolf, "I have nothing to hide" she smiled kindly. The wolf would be her biggest problem, it looked pretty loyal to the boy as well so she would really have to work on gaining some trust so she didn't end up dead. "Very well, have yourself a great morning. If you need anything more, please feel free to ask" she backed up toward the door and bowed once more before opening it and leaving.


Taking in a deep breath of relief as she exited the room she couldn't get her mind off of the damn wolf. Heading toward the kitchen she did order the soup that the Prince had requested for Kimi. While taking it to the woman she had slipped in some pretty powerful drugs that would make her even more ill. "The prince sends his regards" Severa handed the bowl of soup to the woman and smiled, "I will be on my way now, I believe the younger children play outside after breakfast" she reached out and patted Kimi on the back. "Feel better" with that she headed toward the dinning area where she would meet the children and watch over them as they played outside.
 
Neal sat out on a bench outside, Mist had taken off into the woods to hunt. His mother hated that He did this saying that there would be no more birds and rabbits left for them to look at, Neal knew that mist wasn't hunting either of those which he TOLD his mother, besides Mist was really only interested in the deer. Neal closed his eyes and let a breeze run through his hair before he bent back over his sketchbook and began to finish up the flower he had started. It was a pretty Orchid that was on the other side of the path normally he would pick it and bring it inside to paint, but he didn't want to kill this one. He would try something else. Making several sketches and then painting from that.


(Okay this was short sorry :( )
 
(Its quite alright don't worry about it ^^ I didn't really give you much to work off of so it's partially my fault)


Severa watched over the three children that decided to join her outside, she had noticed the wolf running by her at one point but tried not to pay much attention to the beast. "LOOK! LOOK AT ME MISS!" the undercover maid turned her attention toward the five year old girl who was now trying to climb a tree and failing miserably.


"mmhmm...Come now, before your hurt yourself...wouldn't want to break your arm would you?"/Or your neck/ Severa thought with a small grin on her face as the girl jumped down and grabbed her hand.


"COME ON! THERE'S NEAL! NEAL!!!" The young girl called out cheerfully, she had been quite the little ball of energy and very well spoken for such a young princess.


"Oh...Well then..." Walking after the young princess she looked back as the other two played tag, why the young girl hadn't joined them was beyond her but she didn't question their actions too much. Looking down as the girl rushed toward her brother and happily threw her arms around him she couldn't help but feel a little bad for them, so much happiness even after her younger brothers had been killed by the horses just month's earlier. "Prince Neal" she bowed as she approached, Amber seemed to be quite pleased with running into her older brother and didn't really give him a choice as to accepting the little squirt on his lap or not.


Amber, the young princess, had crawled onto her brother's lap and grabbed at the paper he was drawing on. "WHAT ARE YOU DRAWING?! CAN I SEE?!" she looked toward the picture and then at the flower before looking up at Severa, "LOOK! Can she see?!" Amber questioned, her bright green eyes wide with excitement.
