Standing at an even 6 feet, Komodo is a rather thin individual whose entire appearance is characterized by the praised mustache of this individual. A kind voice and excellent manners carry along his cheerful personality, which despite its joy does not allow for mistakes in his profession.

The son of a blacksmith from Venora, as a youth James Creed was witness to a raid on his village from the savage bandits known as Faction VII. Hidden in a barrel by his mother to keep him safe, James watched the brigands violate and torture his parents before they finally killed them, the sight awakening within the boy a fiery rage that was of such strength that he would never again know true calm, only periods where he kept his wrath under control until he could unleash it upon those who deserved his fury. Joining the knights at the earliest opportunity, James rose quickly through the ranks, his fury granting him a natural skill in combat. Wields a broadsword and spiked heater shield in combat, backed up with a pair of clawed gauntlets in case of emergency.

Name: Evan Payne

Race: Human
Age: 34
Title: Knight
Skills: 40 Melee Combat, 40 Ranged Combat, 40 Shield, 40 Mount, 50 Unarmed Combat

Growing up the son of a drinker and a whore, Evan Payne knew very little love in his life. Always decried as an unwanted burden, Evan turned to brawling at a young age, using it as an outlet for his pent up frustration. Seeing him fight, James Creed, then a Knight, challenged him to a brawl and placed a bet on it: If James won the fight, Evan would join the military. James won the fight and Evan kept his word. The knights proved a different world for the troubled young man, finally giving him a place where he was not only accepted, but welcomed. This gave him a loyalty to Rynmere that seems unwavering in its resolve, along with a debt of gratitude and a friendship with James Creed, who is now his superior.

Name: Ciethla Ryndaris
Created by: Vivian
Race: Ithecal
Age: 18
Title: Squire
Blessings/Curses: Favored Taithir, Basic
Skills: 15 Melee Combat, 10 Ranged Combat, 15 Shield, 5 Mount: Horse, 30 Endurance 10 Protective Spirit (Minor), 10 Enduring Aura (Minor)

Her name is a fusion of Rynmere and Andaris, as per Ithecal naming tradition clashing with the noble house names. Foreign Ithecal tend to call her Ciethla Rynmere or Ciethla Andaris out of confusion. Born to immigrants from Yithiral, Ciethla is a child of two worlds, imbued with both the principles of Rynmere and the principles of Yithiral. This has led to some internal conflict in the young woman, as she dislikes Rynmere's classism and slavery policies, but still feels intensely loyal and protective of her home. However, she does truly possess an Ithecal's protective nature, something that showed itself very dramatically when she was 15. An attack on her village by Faction VII raiders led her parents out to fight alongside the army, while Ciethla herself was told to hide. However, several children had gotten away from their parents, leading the young Ithecal to chase after them. She was too late to prevent their capture by Faction VII, but, unwilling to simply leave them to their fates, Ciethla took up a forester's axe that had been left behind by a villager in his haste to protect his family and pursued the bandits. It didn't take her long to catch up to them, but they were more than a match for her, easily overpowering her and scarring her face. She kept fighting though, her unwillingness to yield almost costing Ciethla her life, and the brigands proved to be no match for Ciethla's rescuer. Her bravery had called to Ethelynda, who had originally appeared to grant Ciethla her blessing, but now took the field to defend both Ciethla and the children of the village. Once the raiders were dead, Ethelynda gave Ciethla Taithir, along with a suggestion to join the military if she planned on any further feats of heroism. Now, three Arcs later, Ciethla has taken that advice to heart and has joined the Moseke Knights as a Squire. Fights with a battle axe and kite shield, has a blue tail with red stripes.

In 710, he met a young skyrider in the training grounds. A determined young woman who caught his attention, despite her junior years. He ignored his own rules in order to claim the object of his desire and began a passionate affair with the noble, Elyna Burhan in the knowledge that her older brother had risen through the ranks and was now his Captain. A captain who knew he was promised in marriage to the daughter of an Andaris merchant. Yoreth married Ameila Miller as had been arranged some arcs before and had a son with his wife. However, he strived to keep his lives, professional, domestic and fantasy separate. Unwilling to give up his attachment to the noblewoman.

However, in 713 Elyna’s brother discovered them and the truth couldn’t be hidden away any longer. Elyna told him to go to sea and never come back, and during the voyage her brother passed him a substantial amount of gold with the agreement he would not return to Andaris. Elyna was passed news of his demise at sea and the history books were written. Yoreth sent for Amelia and their son to join him in Ne’Hear, but his wife refused. He has spent his time in the western city wisely and invested in his smuggling empire. But not without a bitterness that has been devouring him. In early 716 Frustrated by Amelia’s refusal to follow him, Yoreth returned to Andaris to collect his wife. Only to find that the Moseke knights had inexplicably decided to dig up the past.

Despite being trained in command, Valkyr has only made it to lieutenant within Faction VII due to her relative newness, her military background, and her loose cannon nature. She prefers to use a spear and a round shield in combat, generally fights from the back of her dusk coloured Volareon. Known to be a bandit, but currently untouchable due to her status as a member of the Venora House and the fact that she doesn't leave survivors of her raids.

Very few know or care who Valkyrie was before she joined Faction VII, and even those who do know confess that it matters little. The daughter of a small farming family, Valkyrie and her twin sister found little appeal in farming and were feared as bullies by their neighbors due to a love of violence, Valkyrie in particular being known for unprovoked attacks. All this eventually boiled to a head on the twins 15th birthday when they decided to give each other a special gift. Having been "given" her mother, Valkyrie savagely murdered her with the families wood chopping axe, hacking her mother into several large pieces. After this, the twins left for the mountains where they were recruited by Faction VII and placed under the command of Valkyr, which reasoned into their new names. Valkyrie uses a broadaxe in battle in conjunction with a kite shield and is one of the members who helps smuggle supplies through Warrick to Faction VII, mainly acting as security alongside her sister Valkyria.

The daughter of a small farming family, Valkyria and her twin sister found little appeal in farming and were feared as bullies by their neighbors due to a love of violence, Valkyria in particular being known for insults and damaging other people's property at night while they slept. All this eventually boiled to a head on the twins 15th birthday when they decided to give each other a special gift. Having been "given" her father, Valkyria used her father's hunting bow to shoot arrow after arrow into him, eventually killing him when he bled out. After this, the twins left for the mountains where they were recruited by Faction VII and placed under the command of Valkyr, which reasoned into their new names.

While Vidar is a third generation Faction VII member, most of Warrick region knows him as an immigrant from Rharne by the name of Dave Halford who works as a traveling brewer. Vidar's cover serves two fold, with one benefit being that it allows him to get a general feel of when it would be best for the various Faction VII groups working under Vishal's banner to lie low and where it would be best for them to attack. In addition, his cover as a travelling merchant means that Faction VII groups can use his wagons to smuggle loot and goods from various caches across Warrick towards their mountain base. Technically placed under Valkyr's command, Vidar just as often takes orders from Vishal or other highwayman who need loot transported. Fights with a short bow.

Having been taken by Athartian raiders as a very young child and almost immediately sold to a wealthy merchant from Nashaki, Vanir was raised purely as a weapon by her owner, forced to compete in arena fights and knowing little to nothing of peace or kindness, or even her own name, only the helpless rage satiated by the blood of her opponents and the taunting lure of freedom. But it wasn't until her master visited Rynmere that Vanir got her chance at freedom, when Faction VII attacked him mid-travel. Vainly, her master ordered her to defend him but Vanir refused to come to his aid, or that of his guards. When one of the bandits, a woman riding a winged beast and carrying a spear, approached the slave, Vanir asked to be allowed to butcher the merchant herself, offering her loyalty to the bandits in return. The woman agreed and freed Vanir, letting the Sev'ryn slave finally get the revenge she had so long desired. This was Vanir's first meeting with Valkyr, who would eventually become her commander and more, for eventually Valkyr took Vanir as her lover. She now serves as member of Valkyr's raid group and occasionally her assassin in extreme situation. Uses a pair of claws in combat.

Blessings/Curses: none
Skills: Poisons: 50, Herbalism: 40, Medicine: 30, Research: 25, and Ranged Combat: 15
Other Information: Varin's first memories are of cold, hunger, and pain. She doesn't know who her family is. Nor does she care. They abandoned her when she was very young, and she doesn't want them any more than they wanted her. She hadn't been on the streets for long when she was taken in by a man who was looking for an apprentice in his craft.

He wasn't a kind man. Nor was he offering to teach Varin out of the kindness of his heart. He worked her hard. But he did teach her the craft of poisons. And for that, she was grateful enough to use a painless, fast acting poison to kill him once he had taught her all that he could.

Varin is as cold, and ruthless as they come. She trusts no one, and anyone who trusts her is a fool. She was approached by Faction VII when she was seventeen, because they had caught wind of her skill with herbal remedies, and drugs. Varin had set up a small shop for herself, selling herbal remedies. Those who knew how to ask properly, could also find drugs, and poisons available. Her prices were higher than most, but none ever complained, and she had a very loyal customer base. She had a reputation for being among the best at what she did. Once she was hired, they discovered that she was even more skilled than she let on.

Name: Vesper
Created by: Vex
Race: Human
DOB: 89th day of Vhalar, 692th Arc (24 Years Old)
Title: Crook [Faction VII]
Skills: Logistics: 35, Smuggling: 35, Writing: 10, Mathematics: 10, Unarmed Combat: 5, Blades (Short Sword): 5
Other Information: Contrary to belief, not all members of Faction VII are known for their martial prowess or their rugged appearance; Vesper is a prime example of this. A bookish, timid man, he caught the eye of Chief Vilhelm's contacts within the Rynmere University after displaying particular interests in logistics and mathematics. Forced to drop out of the university in 714, he was quickly swooped up and employed as a bookkeeper for the various illicit activities being run in Lowtown. Not the most intimidating of men, Vesper has proven himself reliable and is often left unsupervised by his superiors for the day-to-day operations, though he often has in his company one or two bodyguards to watch his back when he has to move about in the seedier parts of the city.

Name: Vandal
Created by: Vex
Race: Mixed Race (Human/Biqaj)
DOB: 23rd trial of Cylus, 694th Arc (22 Years Old)
Title: Crook [Faction VII]
Skills: Bludgeons (Mace): 30, Intimidation: 25, Unarmed Combat: 20, Endurance: 15 Smuggling: 10
Other Information: Standing at six foot two and weighing in just under two hundred pounds, Vandal is a growing force to be reckoned with within the Andaris crew of Faction VII. Although only having joined in 715, he has proven himself more than capable in operating within the system. He’s not the brightest of men, and has shown little aptitude beyond that of martial skills, which has left him relegated to the more menial tasks within the crew like bodyguarding and extortion, though he has had a hand in smaller raids in the past. When not assigned to any one task for the crew, he can often be found hanging around the docks, as he’s always found a closer connection with Biqaj than with humans.

Name: Viras
Created by: Lei'lira
Race: Sev'ryn
DOB: 15 Vhalar, 682
Title: Outlaw (Faction VII)
Skills: Torture: 55, Psychology: 15, Intimidation: 5, Mount: 10, Whips; Whips: 15
Other Information: Viras is a huge man. He is also a cruel, sadistic man who takes great pleasure in the suffering of others. But he takes that a step further. He enjoys causing physical pain, but what he enjoys the most is hurting someone in the worst way possible. If someone is afraid of rats, he takes great pleasure in locking them in a room full of them. If they are afraid of the dark, he will blind them. Animals, and slaves that are broken by him are truly broken. His greatest pleasure comes from using a victim's worst fears against them. The one and only person that Viras loves or feels any loyalty to is his younger brother, Varnu. He is extremely protective of his brother, and hurting him will drive Viras into a rage that won't be sated until the person who dared do so has been utterly destroyed in the most painful way possible. Viras joined Faction VII because life as a bandit offered him chances to hurt people that were hard to come by in a more honest profession. He serves under Valkyr's command.

Name: Varnu
Created by: Lei'lira
Race: Sev'ryn
DOB: 19 Ashan, 684
Title: Outlaw (Faction VII)
Skills: Blades; Gladius: 25, Polearm; Quarterstaff: 10, Ranged; Short Bow: 20, Blades; longsword: 10, Thrown; Bola: 20, Mount: 15
Other Information: Varnu is Viras's younger brother. As his beloved older brother, Viras can do no wrong in his eyes. His loyalty is to Viras, and Viras alone. But he will trust and obey anyone his brother tells him to. Varnu is less brutal than his brother can be, and he can be reasoned with at times. If a potential victim begs for their life, he may take pity on them if they have something they can offer as a suitable bribe (money, valuables, property that can be used as a base, valuable skills, etc.) And if they don't, he will kill them as quickly and painlessly as possible; he does not take pleasure in the suffering of others the way his brother does. Varnu will not kill a child under any circumstances. But that is not to say that he is a kind man. Varnu takes what he wants, whether it belongs to him, or not. And if someone gets hurt in the process, he is perfectly fine with that. He serves under Valkyr's command.

Name: Viran
Created by: Lei'lira
Race: Sev'ryn
DOB: 5 Ashan, 698
Title: Outlaw (Faction VII)
Skills: Polearm; Naginata: 10, Mount: 10, Linguistics: 55, Cooking: 10, Animal Husbandry: 5, Disguise: 10
Other Information: Viran has very graceful, almost feminine features. It helps him to disguise himself as a girl when needed in order to provide a distraction during a raid, or to get information from someone who is likely to say more than he should while trying to impress a pretty girl. Viran is not truly bandit material, but his skills with linguistics make him valuable to Faction VII all the same. He was once a member of the Qe'dreki, but when so many others who shared his beliefs were captured, he fled; his own beliefs in their cause were more due to the fact that his best friend, and older brother were also Qe'dreki. When they were killed in the fighting, there was little to hold him, so he fled. And when he was approached by a member of Faction VII, he joined willingly. It was better than living as a fugitive without a single ally, or fleeing the kingdom. As an expert in linguistics, he is fluent in his native language, Xanthea, and conversational in Common, and Rakahi. He serves under Valkyr's command.

Name: Varnor
Created by: Lei'lira
Race: Biqaj
DOB: 30 Cylus, 680
Title: Outlaw (Faction VII)
Skills: Poisons: 55, Medicine: 30, Ranged; Blow Dart; 10, Mount; 5
Other Information: Varnor joined Faction VII because they offered him opportunities to use his craft that he would not otherwise have. To keep him happy, they give him a ready supply of victims to test his poisons and drugs on. He is highly intelligent, with a ready, sarcastic wit. Varnor serves under Valkyr's command.

Name: Vir
Created by: Lei'lira
Race: Biqaj

Title: Outlaw (Faction VII)
Skills: Blades; Longsword: 50, Whips; whips: 15, Mount: 10, Intimidation: 10, Tactics: 10, Agriculture: 5
Other Information: Vir has been working with Faction VII ever since he was a child. His father was a cruel, abusive man with a violent temper. When Vir was 10, his father killed his mother, and younger siblings in a drunken rage. Something in him snapped. When he came back to himself, the room was covered in blood, his father was dead, and the blade that killed him was clutched in his hands. Fearing being executed for killing a man, he fled...right into a group of bandits who had been coming to raid his farm. Using the blade he had killed his own father with, he tried to defend himself. Although he was overpowered, his spirit, and natural skill impressed the bandits. They were even more impressed when they entered the house to loot it, and saw what was left of the young boy's father. For those reasons, rather than kill him, the bandits offered Vir a chance to join them. He never looked back. Vir thrives in the life as a bandit. As a child, he was a victim until the bodies of his family caused him to snap and kill the man who killed them. The hard won strength he has gained as a bandit ensures that he will never be a victim again. He was a part of the group of bandits that captured Lei'lira Warrick in Saun 716, but he survived Victor Warrick's wrath because he was away at the time the man rescued his niece, and ordered the bandit camp destroyed. Now he serves under Valkyr's command.

Name: Veljorn Burhan
Race: Biqaj
Age: 37
Born: 10 Cylus 679
Title: 'Dreki Riki' The Dragon King, Captain (Sailor)

As the youngest son of Baako and Paige Burhan, Veljorn would never take title of Duke of Burhan, not with an older brother and four older sisters in his way, nor would he settle for rank of Baron until Pavoo’s offspring were old enough to take that from him too. Carrying the ancient blood of one of the Sacred Seven, when an outsider became king and watered down the bloodlines, paving way for unworthy heirs, who to this day hold the throne, the youngest Burhan son made plans of his own and slowly amounted power in the west, raising an army some believe to be just over two thousand strong; little do they know.

Title: Lady
Skills: 30 Etiquette, 30 Poison, 40 Teaching, 30 Seduction, 20 Unarmed Combat, 10 Melee Combat.

The youngest daughter of Caleb and Hannah Endor, Madelyn is the farthest from the throne of the Endor duchy, a fact which rankled in the heart of the young noblewoman, a fact she could not accept. But accidents, by their very nature, are impossible to rely on, so Lady Madelyn turned her devious mind to other methods of advancement. Men, so easy to ensnare, became a natural source of information and favors, and poisons and a sharp dagger appealed to her for when more direct solutions were necessary. Ambitious, heartless, and merciless, Madelyn will stop at nothing to become the Duchess of Endor, and if she must murder her whole family to do it, so be it. However, what might prove to be the most dangerous weapon at her disposal is that she still maintains contact with her closest childhood friend, Ex-Skyrider Pythera Venora (aka Valkyr).

The youngest son of Duke Thomas Andaris, Gavin grew up fully at home in the treacherous waters of the court of Rynmere. Now an adult, Gavin maneuvers to help Cassander Renault keep his head and his throne, as he believes the young man could potentially make a fine king. However, this loyalty does not extend to his wife, Freya. In fact, Gavin actively works to have Freya replaced by someone who would be better for both Rynmere and Cassander, by whatever means he feels he has to use.

Blessings/Curses: Elithem, Adored.
Skills: Seduction(50), Persuasion(25), Singing(25).


Bianca Venora is the youngest sister of Duchess Ebony Venora. Erotic, wild and completely mad, Bianca somehow managed to keep herself unwed. No one knows how she managed to do this either. Bianca may not be married but she personally deals with the house's marriage arrangements. Whenever House Venora couples are having trouble, she is willing to deal with that too.

When she is not dealing with house matter's, Bianca can be found at a brothel, doing whatever she wants...

Name: Ebony Venora
Created by: Alistair
Race: Human
Age: 68
Birthdate: 3rd of Cylus, Arc 647

Blessings/Curses: N/A
Skills: Leadership: 65, Politics: 55, Deception: 40, Etiquette: 35, Intelligence: 30, Business Management: 25

Outdated information: now ex-Duchess

Duchess Ebony of Venora is known to be an incredibly traditional woman, one who firmly supports the divide between noble and lowborn. She is not known to be greatly loved by the people, but rather respected, and adored by the nobility. She has ruled as Duchess of Venora for 38 years, placed as the heir of Venora after the tragic and sudden passing of her brother Wolsingham at a Knight's tourney, one where an upstart count drugged his horse which resulted in his dismounting and the breaking of his neck.

This was said to have inspired a change in her to become a proper Lord, provoking authority and demanding the loyalty of her vassals. Since then, she has also given more and more counties and baronies to Venora cadet branches rather than other, rival families, ensuring the family remain strong within the Duchy.

Now, in her old age, she is ready to retire to the town of Lamonte on the coast, living on a beachfront home her family has owned; one she's visited each year, and one she hopes to die in with her aging husband, Karl Venora (nee Warrick).

Name: Willow Venora

Title: Duchess of Venora, Countess of Lamonte
Blessings/Curses: N/A
Skills: Seduction: 55, Etiquette: 45, Politics: 40, Investigation: 35, Deception: 30, Leadership: 25

Willow Venora is the oldest surviving child of Duchess Ebony Venora, though one with a reputation far below that of Noah's and Kalani's. Willow Venora is a proper noblewoman - she is good at playing 'the game', deceiving others, uncovering plots, dancing with her words and fooling the hearts of men. However, her actual leadership skills have always been known to lack, and decisions made by her often go sour. Even so, she is beloved by Duchess Ebony and as the mother of three children of relative prominence in the Kingdom's political affairs, her line is sure to lead Venora in the future, despite her relative incompetence.

Name: Kaleb Venora (nee Fate)

Race: Human

Blessings/Curses: Audnev (Adored)
Skills: Intelligence: 75, Leadership: 60, Deception: 50, Interrogation: 45, Longsword: 40, Mount - Horse: 30

Kaleb Venora is a man of exceptional skill, poise and nobility. Even despite being from a low-ranking noble family, he managed to convince Duchess Ebony in his youth to marry to the heir of an entire Duchy, a deal that made him one of the most prominent individuals in the Duchy, his family gaining the ownership of the County of Lamonte shortly after. He comes from a wealthy merchant family, known for its contracting of artists and musicians as well as the creation of fashionable trends across the Kingdom. It is said by many that his leadership abilities, his ruthlessness and political domineering, are sure to set him as the true leader when Ebony is to abdicate and retire.

He has a peerless public reputation as both a military leader and a man of dignity, but in secret is known to be a terrible father to his children, all three of whom generally despise him though Alistair and he share a silent, strange accord. He is marked twice by Audrae, is known as one of the most influential schemers in the Duchy of Venora, and is an individual who has maintained a power structure in the city of Sabaissant that not even the Duchess has recognized; he pulls many strings behind the scenes, and has ensured that his wife does not for a moment ever imagine herself to be the true and rightful Duchess.

Name: Evelyn Andaris
Created by: Qaerris
Race: Human
Age: 31
Title: Lady
Skills: 30 Etiquette, 20 Business Management, 30 Winemaking, 20 Negotiation


Born into the Andaris family, Evelyn was practically raised in the docks. It came quite naturally to her to observe the goings on in the place as a child, though when she came into her own profession, she sought her piece far from there. Using her own property as a place to produce common vintages of wine, Evelyn often seeks out those that can help her advance her business. It would seem that the woman has, as of late, thrown herself into her work, the recent death of her husband changing her into a workaholic who strays from the common societal norm of socializing with others. Few know what else Evelyn does with time, though rumours spark of men visiting her in the evening.

He has no interest in moving up through the ranks and enjoys whipping new recruits into shape. Heath's weapon of choice is the long-sword and he is skilled with a tall shield. On mount he prefers to use a bec de corbin or war hammer of some sort and rarely, if ever, misses. Heath is Captain Malcolm Krome's most trusted knight, and dare he admit, friend.

Ronald Vice is the younger brother Simon Kruz always wanted (instead having to deal with one he doesn’t), and the two have always been inseparable both on and off duty. Usually spotted hanging out in a tavern together, cheating people out of all of their hard earned money, when they aren’t at work, Ronald enjoys a spot of gambling and is good at turning everyday mundane tasks into competitions in order to keep things interesting. He is deadly with a gladius and able to sneak into just about anywhere without being noticed. Since Simon's death, Ronald has been quiet, distant, and lost within himself. He grew up in Warrick and intended to become a famous writer, studying the different noble houses, and history of Rynmere. When this dream didn't pan out, he joined the knights, squiring for Lord Victor Warrick before he gained a promotion and ended up working for Malcolm, and later, Benjamin, his new captain.

Preferring to follow orders rather than give them, he is slowly coming to terms with what it means to be a leader. Benjamin grew up in Burhan and prefers to use a crossbow in place of a sword.

Skills: Melee Combat (35), Ranged Combat (35), Shield (25), Mount (25), Unarmed Combat (15)
Other Information: One of the very few Knights that gained a knighthood without losing a pound, Vorko is not an average knight. In fact, nothing about him as average according to the rumors that surround him. Vorko is a quiet man, obedient under authority and humble in his words. Other than that, he is a stranger both to his fellow Knights and those that meet him. The most common rumor surrounding Vorko is that the Iron Hand shouldn't have allowed him to join due to his twisted morals, yet that is nothing more than a rumor.

Title: Knight.
Skills: Melee Combat (35), Ranged Combat (35), Shield (25), Mount (25), Unarmed Combat (15)
Other Information: Violent and blunt, Papar doesn't quite care about the Iron Hand as much as he cares about battle. Always eager to enter into action, his needs often make him reckless, and his childish behavior often makes him fall easily into provocations. Nonetheless, Papar is still alive to this day due to his passion, driving him from assignment to assignment and victory over victory. Due to his refusal to manage his emotions, Papar will never advance in rank, and will most likely fall victim to his own rabid nature. That is, of course, if someone manages to defeat him. Friendly and energetic, Papar only cares about adrenaline.

Other Information: Born in the wilderness, Pear and his family roamed from place to place with nothing but the fabric of his tent, it wasn't until Pear witnessed the glory of Andaris in the distance that he decided the wilderness was not something he liked anymore. Escaping his parents, lost in the city, Pear's wonder was so much that he knew he'd never leave the safety of walls of stone. Having to teach himself to read and write, through constant effort he gained a knighthood, and now proudly defends his new home from anything that may try to break that security he so adores. Charming, jolly and a bit bizarre, nature and civilization mix perfectly in this man.

Other Information: Without no other wish but to have some sort of power, Macho joined the Iron Hand craving that air of respect Knights have around them. Although Macho's methods are somewhat questionable, he always knows how to adapt his methods to his superior's desires. It was perhaps this capacity to adapt what made him progress so quickly and to achieve knighthood in the end. Although his appearance is somewhat bizarre for a knight, he knows how to work his charm with everyone, despite his laugh being as annoying as it is.

Other Information: A veteran of the Iron Hand, many are surprised as to why Madd hasn't advanced in rank. In truth, his knowledge is enough to make an excellent leader, and he could've easily achieved the rank of Captain... if it wasn't for his good heart. There is nothing Madd loves more than field work, not because of the violence or the lack of stress, but because of the chance to witness in first person the joy in those he aids with his service. Rejecting every promotion, Madd doesn't want to distance himself from the people of Rynmere, gladly offering his knowledge to his superior as he is quite respected within the Iron Hand. Friendly yet slightly aloof, Madd is often believed to be goodness itself.

Lucien Shiryu is a very successful merchant, who specializes in steel. He has an excellent reputation, and has been known to do business with the noble families. Lucien is a charming man with a good sense of fashion, and humor. Many people find it difficult to dislike him, and even harder not to respect him. The man has an air about him that commands respect. He likes the finer things in life, and it shows. While he never overindulges, he wears only the finest quality clothes, and eats only the finest quality foods.

He is a very controlled, disciplined man. No one he is trying to impress will ever see any signs of his temper. But he does have one, and it can be quite violent at times if he ever unleashes it completely. Lucien does not have friends. He has people he is trying to impress in order to further his goals, people who work for him, allies, rivals, and enemies. He knows what he would be willing to do in order to obtain what he wants, and would never trust another enough to consider them a friend, out of suspicion that they would do the same. Lucien is confident in his own abilities. Perhaps too confident as his confidence comes across as arrogance at times unless he is careful not to show it.

Lucien is a very proud man, who feels as though he has a right to take anything he wants. If there is a legal way to get what he wants, he will use it. But when there isn't, he will do what must be done to achieve his goal. Or pay someone else to do it for him. He isn't afraid of hard work, but if he can pay someone else to do it for him, he will. And he usually can.

But there is a darker side to the man. Although he is not part of Faction VII himself, he does have strong connections to it. He is in a position to give them information that they would not be able to get in other ways. Lucien feeds them information on important trade caravans. Who is carrying what. What trade routes they are taking, and when they are departing. How many guards travel with them, and so on. In exchange, when he wants someone bullied into silence, or obedience, punished, or even killed, he can call on them, and have it done.

Name: Krin Shiryu
Created by: Seira Shiryu
Race: Human
Age: 28 arcs
Born: 75 Vhalar, 688
Title: Outlaw, Merchant
Blessings/Curses: none
Skills: Melee Combat: 40, Ranged Combat: 35, Intimidation: 25, Torture: 20, Business Management: 20.


Krin was expected to join the skyriders like his brother, Kiran did. But he had other ideas. Even as a young child, he hated being told what to do, and that hatred only grew as he got older. Envisioning the freedom to do whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted to do it, he set off on his own when he was 15 to become a bandit. He was going to get rich quickly, using the fighting skills he'd learned as a child to take whatever he wanted.

It didn't quite work out that way. He earned a reputation as a bandit that earned him the attention of Faction VII. By then, he had learned the hard way what the realities of trying to make it as a solo bandit were, so when asked to join, he jumped at the chance. Now he still has someone telling him what to do, but he enjoys more freedom than he would have had he joined the skyriders, or the military.

Krin has a violent temper that most learn to avoid quickly. It takes a lot to make him lose his temper, but once he does, someone is going to get hurt. Or killed.

Since Lucien is his uncle, he works as the liaison between Faction VII, and Lucien Shiryu. As such, he is most often called on to do whatever it is that Lucien wants done. To deepen the connection, and to act as a reminder that while they are allies, Faction VII is not his to command, Krin often acts as Lucien's apprentice. In doing so, he is in a good position to keep an eye on Lucien.

Name: Mercer Haak
Created by: Rend.
Race: Human.
Age: 57
Born: Fort Endor, Saun 12, Arc 659.
Title: Master Merchant.
Skills: 40 Jewelcrafting, 50 Archery, 30 Gambling, 35 Business Management, 15 Negotiation


Mercer started out a simple craftsman, making trinket for those who could afford them. As his talent grew and he began to make more nels per season, his wares became desired across Rynmere by those who played the status games.

Originally simply sending his wares on whatever other merchants ships were leaving first or leaving pickup up to the buyer, Mercer eventually saw that a profit could be made in using his slowly amassing fortune to buy goods that were common or cheaper where he was and sending an entire shipment of his own to be sold at the destination, and in this way he branched out from being just a jeweller to being a merchant, eventually rising to Master Merchant more because he went drinking and pheasant hunting with the right people than because he was the best, though he was by and large successful.

The attack and sinking of a ship he was on Ashan 7, Arc 716 has left him deathly afraid of ocean voyages, and he will now only travel overland, and with very little prompting is liable to get wild eyed and go on at lengths about the Demon-Mer who attacked his ship, especially after a drink.

Name: Ferlin
Created by: Nivasi Zyq'Dariav
Race: Human
Age: 72 Arcs
Born: Andaris, Zi'da 61, 644 Arc
Title: Merchant
Skills: Fishing 40, Business Management 30, Persuasion 30


Ferlin started his life as a fisherman. The son of a fisherman it was the only life he knew and all he expected to do. Until a broken rope on a stormy day ended with him losing his legs from just above the knee. His livelihood lost, Ferlin sold his own fishing equipment for a decent price. He used some of this money to buy damaged nets which he then repaired and resold. This expanded to buying and reselling others fishing gear, and paying children to get bait for him. Eventually, anything you might want, new or used that could be used for fishing shy of an actual boat could be found at his stall within the marketplace of Andaris.

When home or at his stall, Ferlin sits in a chair of average height. He also has a low wheeled cart that lets him move himself through the city with relative freedom. Though not rich by any means, he's done well enough to provide for himself and his wife Elsie, and keep their small home near the marketplace.

He is a friendly man, who always has words if someone wants to discuss fishing or sailing in general. He can occasionally be a bit soft on those he perceives as being in need.

Name: Elsie
Created by: Nivasi Zyq'Dariav
Race: Human
Age: 70 Arcs
Born: Andaris, Ymiden 12, 646 Arc
Title: Mrs
Skills: Cooking 65, Psychology 20, Sewing 15


Elsie is largely retired. To supplement her husband Ferlins income, she occasionally fills in when an Inn or Restaurants chef comes down sick, or if someone who cannot afford a full time personal chef wants a meal or event cooked by someone else. Her prices are reasonable, particularly if the customer delivers the uncooked food to her home and picks it up from there. Prices increase slightly if she has to do the shopping and again if she has to make house calls. She is a very maternal mother, and certainly one of those women who becomes a grandmother to everyone, regardless of any blood ties.

Name: Gojira Gorgona Godmounter.
Created by: Peake Andaris.
Race: Human.
Age: 50 Arcs.
Born: 66 Zi'da 666.
Title: Businesswoman.
Skills: Business Management 60, Negotiation 30, Torture 10.


Gojira's life is shaped by misfortune. Ever since birth, issues and problems followed Gojira, who managed to push past them. Despite her parents barely being able to put food on her table or afford a household as they lived in a barn, Gojira never lost hope nor gave up. Slowly but steadily, she has ascended social positions throughout hard work and strife, doing whatever it needed to happen and escaping death on many occasions by her will alone.

Unable to afford university, Gojira instead worked with the local builders, where she learned the secrets of the masonry trade. Her parents soon perished and she was found alone in a cold world. Nonetheless, she did not give up. Sacrificing one of her two daily meals while she worked, she educated herself on her own after the long work days as a mason. Eventually, she managed to gather just enough money to purchase a set of tools and buy a business license. Nothing worked at first, as she was a thin woman who worked alone, and finding work was almost impossible. She did not give up, and after the chance of the lifetime to work on a well for low-town, her work and talent finally shined by connecting a well to a natural formation of water many said it was inaccessible. After finding a vein of gold deep within the ground, her business truly became alive.

Today, her business controls most of the wells, and her work shapes many of the city sewers, in which she has many gold-digging operations that exploit the forgotten minerals that roam in the depths. She no longer has to physically strain herself, as instead her workers do the hard work. Her attitude is questionable, as many believe the pressures of the depths of Andaris had affected her brain. Her reputation as a psychopath has only grown as she has been married or engaged seven times in the last four years, all her fiances and husbands were found dead after a large intake of aphrodisiacs. She was never found guilty. Stern in the face and mind, the coldness of Gojira is almost as strong as the perfumes she wears.
