Please post here the PUBLIC information on your character. Name/Race/Class/Personality/Background ...blah blah blah. The usuals, with an Image if you've chosen one. And by Public I mean anything that's not a Secret. People may not have your LinkedIn account in D&D, but between rooting around your associates, or talking directly to you, this is what they could reasonably get out of you.

If you've got anything Secret, please write that down in your Character Sheet (Background section most likely), and maybe also PM me or whatever so I know about it.

Crichton

Human Rogue/Chameleon

Son of the late butler of Earl Calhadion Vernisant's primary residence in Ridonport, the youngest Crichton comes from a long line of distinguished servants and gentlemen's gentlemen. He was trained from the cradle in the discrete and efficient handling of downstairs matters, with the understanding that he would become valet to the Earl's eldest son, Strephon, when the two came of age (the noble Scion being two weeks Crichton's senior). When Strephon Vernisant vanished amid well-contained scandal (rumors indicate he eloped with a chambermaid), the promising young Crichton was given a letter of recommendation and a small purse by the Earl, who encouraged him to seek a new situation in Oppara, Jewel of Taldor. Bidding goodbye to his mother, a cook in the Earl's kitchen, young Crichton left his home in search of work.

Theodrix

Race: Human
Age: 22
Ht: 6' Wt: 170lbs
Skin: Tanned, Hair: Raven, Eyes: Brown
Left Handed

Theodrix is a man who seems to have had a hard life, but he's tight lipped about it. There is an air of nobility to him, perhaps its just how it holds himself, or treats with others, because casual questions about his past turn up without much of anything. Rumor is he came in on The Terror, a privateer flying the flags of Taldan not long ago. He's fit and hale, like any good sailor should be, but he's well spoken, and clearly can read better than any common sailor should be able to. He wears a small charm of Abadar that pokes out of his tunic now an then, but his longsword and dueling dagger flank each other on his belt as obvious as his well trimmed goatee. He's been cleaned up nicely by your patron, but you know there is more to the young man than meets the eye.

Those with extra skills, and desire, who do some hard digging in the right places are able to come up with the surname of Dewmore attached to Theodrix, but even that hardly seems to help as no one in Oppara has ever heard of the Dewmore family.

Aurelia Demetrias
Human Wizard (enchantress)

Age: 19
Ht: 5' 6" Wt: 125 lbs
Skin: Tanned, Hair: Dirty blonde, Eyes: Brown
Right Handed

Aurelia is a playful young woman with a zest for life and a drive to succeed. She appears to be ambitious and eager to rise in position and influence. The way she tells it, she is from a modest merchant family who brought her to Andoran when she was young in order to do business and invest there (although she never seems to say exactly what the family business is). Aurelia speaks fondly of being the champion of the debate club at the school of arcane studies she attended in Andoran. Nowadays, she is often seen at various social events, cozying up to various minor nobles in order to get patronage from them to become a court wizard.

This wizard appears fairly brazen, especially compared to other courtly wizards, who are usually more conservative. On most days, she can be seen in public wearing what, if one were inclined to be polite, could be described as minimalist clothing. Her robes and dresses usually serves to draw attention to her body rather than hide anything, and it seems that either or chest or her pert behind (or both) are always in danger of being over-exposed if there is even a stiff wind in the area. Aurelia also never seems to go anywhere without her trusty spellbook. She claims that, as a worshipper of Calistria, she just enjoys the attention, the fashion, and the harmless flirting. But, perhaps she is just more willing to do anything in order to attract the attention and favor of potential patrons.

Mercutio

Image

Human Bard
Age: 22
Ht: 6' 1" Wt: 195 lbs
Skin: Pale for a Taldan, Hair: Brown, Eyes: Brown
Right Handed

Valerian Mercutio Vernisant, a name he only uses in formal settings, preferring his middle name because he claims he likes it, others suspects it may have something to with him preferring to identify with his mother's side of the family. To the Vernisants, he is considered a wastrel and disgrace, from his perspective, they wouldn't be satisfied unless he had a stick so far up his arse that he wouldn't be able to turn his head.

Always stylish and spotless, preferring darker and elegant, going against the gaudy flow by a more minimalist and tasteful selection. Though every garment of his is expertly tailored, and every part of his outfits goes very well together with the rest, just enough to mostly not be looked down the nose at around other nobles, but some might sense this subtle stab of rebellion and ridicule against them.

He is best known as the life of the party, though he isn't really that well known despite his last name, taking advantage of his family's wealth and standing to have his activities primarily involve enjoying life's many pleasures, jesting, dancing, girls, whatever offers fun and joy. Some suspect that he likes nothing better than to stick it to the high and mighty in so subtle ways that they cannot publicly retaliate for the insult, if they noticed it in the first place.

Brother Bertram Mondegreen
Human Inquisitor of Cayden Caillean
Age: 38
Ht: 172cm Wt: 77 kg
Skin: slightly tanned, Hair: greyish-black, Eyes: black
Right Handed

A middle aged man with a beer belly, greyish-black hair and piercing black eyes. He has a reddish nose and a winning smile. He often seems confused and unaware, but his piercing eyes hide a keen intellect. He often wears metal armor under his worn travel cloak and walks with a sturdy staff. A rapier typical for his religion can be seen on his belt. He also carries a good crossbow when travelling. His clothes often consist of rugged travel gear, used a lot for his extensive travels. In more noble company he wears simple but elegant clothing, but nothing too extravagant. A golden holy symbol of Cayden can be seen around his neck.

He grew up as an orphan in a Cayden Callean monastery / brewery and became involved in the church. He has been travelling extensively, visiting many foreign countries spreading the word and doing church business - as well as savouring local specialities and drinks.

Name: Astraea Clement
Race: Human
Class: Warpriest (Arsenal Chaplain)
Age: 22
Height: 5'11"; Weight: 165 lbs
Skin: Light, but tanned from out-of-doors activities
Hair: Auburn
Eyes: Amber
Handedness: Left

Description: Astraea Clement, known to some as Astraea the Lionhearted or the Lioness of House Clement, is an imposing woman. She stands just under six feet in height and possesses an athletic build – the equal of many men. She walks with confidence - her step is that of a soldier rather than a lady of court. Astraea’s auburn hair is kept in a strange style that hearkens back to what her ancestors may have encountered on the Sixth Army of Exploration, though its significance is lost on her, as the holy warrior has more immediate concerns. Her style of dress is simple, and she prefers her uniform to anything else, but belonging to an Opparan noble house demands certain sacrifices, and when necessary Astraea can be found wearing a simple dark wine-red and silver dress that accentuates her appearance. She eschews most jewelry, though she possesses a magnificent silver and sapphire necklace passed down from mother to daughter which she wears for special occasions. Few would call her beautiful, though her appearance is far from unpleasant.

Personality: Confident and practical, Astraea has little time for flights of fancy. She knows what she wants and intends to get it by the most direct means necessary. She is adventurous, preferring physical exercises to mental (archery is her favored sport), and has a proud bearing that is seen through how she interacts with others. She has a dry sense of humor that sometimes devolves into coarse dialogue (one can certainly blame her familiarity with the military for this), and at times a fiery temper burns through the formal exterior she presents to others. She has a strong sense of justice and a commitment to duty that sometimes clashes with her desires to see the society to which she belongs progress to a point where women like her are seen as an inspiration to others, rather than a curiousity. Those who comment on her way of speaking might describe it as insightful and deliberate.

Public Background: Eldest of two daughters born to Silas Clement, himself a second son. Grew up preferring archery and horsemanship to traditional female pursuits. Her mother encouraged her, and her father couldn't stop her. A career in the Taldan cavalry was denied to Astraea, so she was encouraged to join the cult of Ragathiel by one of her father's allies, the Lord Remilliard Kastner, a somewhat progressive man. Kastner trained Astraea and she soon found herself supporting the efforts of the Taldan military along its southern border with Qadira. She is currently on leave home in Oppara, and has accepted an invitation from Lord Kastner to join him in attending the Grand Day of Exaltation. She is a known supporter of Eutropia.

Emilia of Hartbrook

Fighter
Age 26
Height/Weight: 5'9, 140
Skin/Hair/Eyes: Ruddy, Auburn, Green
Handedness: Right

Public knowledge: Emilia was born on the 30th of Rova on her father's ranch, in a town near a stream dubbed Hartbrook. Her mother died giving birth, so when her older brother left to join the Phalanx, she pulled more weight on the ranch and grew up closer to her father. Eager to follow in her brother's footsteps, Emilia joined the levies when they were raised in a claimant dispute, between House Fidena and House Claudian to her vague recollection. She continued on the warpath until being recruited into the Taldan Horse for being a standout rider and a skilled halberdier, serving subordinate to one of the barons in Oppara. There, Emilia discovered the excitement of the games in the arena, and favored martial challenges and riding. In the chaos ensuing upon the senate's declaration to change a decree over inheritance laws, (what's a 'primogeniture'?) Emilia held a tight corridor to allow citizens and soldiers - not the least of these being her baron - to escape the Ulfen Guards slaughtering on the order of the Grand Prince.

Personality: The mood around Emilia tends to shift dramatically wherever she goes, and although the years behind her eyes have cultivated a dour visage, she sports a cheeky wit in familiar settings, and welcomes the seldom occasion to let her hair down. It is also particular that she is wont to invoke the name of Aroden foremost among the Taldan pantheon.

Style: As a peasant, Emilia wore undyed shifts, tunics, and skirts even after becoming a career warrior, and since joining the Taldan Horse, her style has transformed to befit a guard who is always on call. Should a formal function arise at which she is required to attend unarmored, she has a narrow choice of modest, long and flared dresses of muted colors, the better to avoid offending or drawing the attention of the bearded crowd.
