The Prophecy of Ancients

Unearthed in a forgotten temple, a prophecy that foretells the end of all deities has been found. This prophecy speaks about ancient beings that came before the gods. These beings were tricked and cast out of their home by the gods. They were left in a slumber that was not to be disturbed. However, on the day of the solar eclipse, there will be a moment in time where the first will awaken and call to the others. If the others hear and respond the gods shall be doomed to the same fate they cast the Ancients.

[Itari]

Cassidia Farran
​

AGE:
23

APPEARANCE:
Cassidia is 5'2" and has an average build. Her curly black hair is usually pulled out of her face in a half-up half-down style and brushes the top of her shoulders. She has a tattoo of an opium poppy on her left forearm and the Aralin's tree symbol on her right forearm, indicating her blessing. She also has two piercings in each lobe.

ASPECT / GOD:
Aralin

BLESSING:
Resistance to poisons and other drugs. Marked as a tree on her right forearm.
Her Blessing makes it very difficult for her to get drunk or high

PERSONALITY:
Cassidia is a very curious person and is always very eager to learn new things, especially when it comes to plant chemicals. She can very easily get absorbed in a task, forgetting about those around her and losing track of time. She is also quite selfish. She often refuses to do things if she thinks they won't benefit her and rarely goes out of her way to help someone. She is a very straightforward person and dislikes talkative people.

BACKGROUND:
Cassidia, or Cassi as people often call her, comes from a family of healers. Her family runs a well known apothecary/hospital, and has even been called on to treat nobility. Cassidia had always been considered a problem child in the family. Unlike her younger siblings, she disliked the idea of the family business and often avoided helping out in the shop to explore the mountainous woods behind her home. Cassidia was a rather selfish person and the though of spending her life helping other people didn't appeal to her. She had originally been planning to leave the house and join a ship crew or even a circus. This all changed when one day when she was 15 she accidentally ingested a small psychedelic mushroom. Although the trip itself was unpleasant to her, it opened up an avenue of possibilities that she had never considered before. Her whole life she had been taught only the healing properties of plants, as well as basic knowledge of poisons to learn how to identify and treat them. Her trip with the mushroom reminded her that plants could do a lot more than just heal.

This small reminder started her thirst of knowledge. She soon became devoted her studies, to her parents' delight. She didn't care for the "healing people" part, but became fascinated with the multitude of chemicals plants could produce and all of their different effects on the human body. She focused mainly on poisons and psychedelics, but she also study more about the beneficial effects as well. Her study of anatomy was only to enhance her understanding of how these chemicals affected the human body, rather than how to heal it. Currently she works in her parents' hospital, and runs a not-so-legal drug dealing business on the side.

OTHER:

• #DE78C3
• She gained her blessing after nursing a badger (which turned out to be a blessed Sacred animal) back to health after it had eaten some rat poison

 

[Princess Rose]

NAME:
Pangari Dunn

AGE:
26

APPEARANCE:
Pangari stands at 5'5" tall and is slender and muscled-toned due to her assassin training. She has straight onyx hair that hangs down to her just below her shoulder blades. Normally she keeps it tied up in a ponytail that rests at the crown of her head. Her right eye has a jade green iris while her left has a black iris with a grey circle in the middle signaling her blessing.

ASPECT / GOD:
Hadria/Shadow

BLESSINGS (IF ANY): Shadow Blessed.
She does have a blessed black widow that is always with her no matter where she is.
She has a blessed item that is a ruby necklace that rests always around her neck night and day, this necklace amplifies her senses giving her an edge in her profession.

PERSONALITY: (at least one paragraph)
Pangari has been described by her fellow assassins as more compassionate than heartless. She has never taken on a job where the target wasn't more than deserving. She has no opinions on petty rivalries and prefers if they are kept out of the business altogether. She has a quick wit and an even sharper tongue. It is usually best to stay out of her way when in a less than pleasant mood.

BACKGROUND:
The Dunn family has been worshipping and honoring the Goddess Hadria for centuries, so it was no surprise when Pangari took up the mantle as well. She trained for many years in perfecting her craft and bringing honor to the family name. Though she took a less than conventional route in that she refuses to take part in petty assassinations; she prefers high-profile targets and those who actually deserve it.
Her parents think it shouldn't matter the target but the results, she disagreed with them on it vehemently. Stating that there was no honor in petty deaths.

OTHER:
~Earned her blessing after taking out a high-profile target who was dealing in flesh goods.
~Recieved her blessed widow after completing her 20th assassination.

Character Sheet
NAME: Vaughn Rhiveth
AGE: 28
APPEARANCE: Vaughn is of average height with a toned physique. He's always dressed well but his red hair curls and waves as it pleases. His demeanor speaks to his good breeding though his family thinks he could do with a little more structure.
ASPECT / GOD: Body / Huran God of Day
BLESSINGS: None, to his family's dismay.

PERSONALITY: Vaughn enjoys the easy life. He meets with the basic expectations of the nobility but has no ambition to move beyond that. He's grown spoiled with an entitlement limited only by his complacency. Easy going and jovial when not exerting himself to do something against his will. His mother taught him faith and gratefulness and in this he is devout to Huran for he has blessed him with a rich life and want for nothing.

BACKGROUND: As the second son of a Duke, third born of all the Duke's children, he grew up with everything he needed and wanted while free of the pressures of a first born. Like all his brothers and sisters, he went through the usual education with suspiciously average marks though his teachers suspected potential for more. As he grew up and developed his Aspect, his teachers were proven discerning. He showed greater talent for it than all his siblings but clearly took it for granted. He plays the part he needs to as the child of a Duke but only in order to be left to his usual gatherings and benefits the Rhiveth name affords him.

OTHER: He is a casual client of Cassidia Farran's.

 

[SilverPaw]

NAME: Noelle Rhoshu

AGE: 20

APPEARANCE:

Noelle stands at 5'5, has a pale complexion, and a lithe body. She both eats and exercises well, and it shows. Her hair falls just past her shoulders, and is such a dark brown that is nearly black. It curls slightly, and is kind of stringy, kept back from her face by a thin corded leather band. Her face is a thin one, the most prominent feature a noticeable scar running horizontally over the line of her bridge; something she got during knife practice as a youth. She tends to wear dull, unobtrusive, somewhat worn clothing, which allows for a wide range of movements and offers protection from the cold, rain, wind, and snow. She has few accessories besides the headband, and all of it simple, composed of leather and/or bits of bone. Noelle is also notably armed, carrying with her a bow and arrows, more than one knife, and a walking stick doubling as a spear. Otherwise, she travels lightly, with only a small backpack carrying all her worldly possessions.​

ASPECT / GOD: God of Beasts

BLESSINGS:

Danger intuition. Noelle can sense imminent dangers. This sense is most acute and provides the most accurate information for those dangers that are close by, will occur soon or are already occurring, and are likely to affect her negatively. She can also gauge how dangerous someone would be as an opponent, though in fairly vague terms.​

PERSONALITY:

Though pragmatic out of necessity, she does have a heart for adventure and facing the unknown. She is used to a simple life in a small community, so she is quite minimalistic and can be somewhat wary of strangers. She knows only her own way of life, so she may not quite understand or appreciate those of others', especially if they wildly differ. However, she does wish to build connections outside of those she possesses, though is not well practiced in doing so. Nonetheless, she is not shy. She can be both patient and stubborn, and is generally even tempered.​

BACKGROUND:

She was born into a small migratory clan, who lived in cold harsh lands, and survived off of the wildlife there and by trading excess goods (mainly furs and the like). They were a poor people, but a tightly knit community, and Noelle was mostly fine with the life there. But she did wish to know what the wider world was like, and as she grew older, she begun joining both the hunting and the trading expeditions. However, with age came certain expectations; that she would find a partner and settle down – for progeny was of vital importance for a clan as small as theirs. Now, she was not necessarily opposed to doing so, but she knew if she did, her desire for travelling would likely go unfulfilled. Thus, she has decided to depart from the clan, if only for a few years (or so she claimed). Truthfully, she knew that she may not be welcomed back afterwards, but as much as departing from her home has been difficult and painful, she has not regretted it so far. It has been a tad lonely, in a way, true. However, she has a loyal companion in the form of a wolfdog hybrid by the name of Zor. She has also made several acquaintanceships, though no new friends yet. Living on her own has also had its share of unprecedented hardships, though that much is not enough to deter her from her journey.​

Background
✦ Zhiqiang was born into a prominent village by those who worshipped Haroun. The village thrived off of order that had many residents of judges, lawyers, and those in law enforcement. Zhiqiang was the second-born of the chief and his wife, who doted on their sons but was equally harsh. They lived in tranquility, leaving Zhiqiang to have a rather secluded life with no social interaction other than when needed.

Zhiqiang spent his time reading many books in their private library. Reading until the early hours of the morning or until his older brother pulled him away to sleep. If he wasn't reading, he was practicing the guqin or sword-fighting [ courtesy of his instructor, who was a well-known law enforcer ] in preparation to travel to the temple of Haroun.

A trip that allowed those of sixteen to embark on a two-week journey by themselves [ or in groups ] to offer their gift to Haroun while visiting the temple and see who they are worshipping. It allowed them to visit their good while also allowing them to explore the world for themselves. A trip filled with everlasting memories and bonds that could never be broken as they return home.

The day after Zhiqiang turned sixteen, he embarked on the two week-long trip with his offering. When he stood in front of the temple's entrance, Zhiqiang turned back feeling emotionally complicated as if he hadn't done enough to enter the grand temple [ his own choice ]. Promising to return in one-year after he had proven to himself he was worthy of being a follower of Haroun.

A year afterward he returned to the same place with significant accomplishments, but before he could entire the temple — a vicious howl rang through the air causing the milky-white male to follow the sound. Upon hearing the painful wails of a boy he hurried along, stumbling upon a young boy surrounded by carnivorous wolves.

Acting on impulse, he quickly dealt with the wolves by sending them to their earthly graves. Hurrying to set up a camp to heal the unconscious boy by bandaging Yingjie's wounds and using herbal remedies. While waiting for the boy to wake, he opted to play a soothing melody from his guqin in hopes of speeding his recovery.

Over the course of the week, Zhiqiang had gotten used to Yingjie's banter and shameless remarks. Soon realizing that spending time with Yingjie led to never having a boring day filled with unpredictable adventures. As Yingjie recovered from his injuries, Zhiqiang told the boy that he could now travel on his own without help. Later on, Zhiqiang headed towards the temple to offer his gift to the God. Returning to his makeshift camp, he discovered Yingjie, who stubbornly refused to leave Zhiqiang. He wasn't expecting to find himself a companion, but he couldn't have been happier.

For the next three years, they traveled together, always seen together. One never went without the other, as they subconsciously relied on one another. Yingjie finally convinced Zhiqiang to return to his home after three years. As they returned to the village, they met Zhiqiang with teary smiles and laughter as they welcomed their second-born home with open arms.

Zhiqiang introduced Yingjie to his parents, who were confused upon seeing Yingjie's chaotic behavior, but they were happy he had finally made a friend [ even if they disagreed with his choices, he opted to ignore their arguments ]. A few weeks had passed as everything [ mostly ] returned to normal other than the rambunctious friend Zhiqiang had brought; he felt empty and unwelcomed within his own home. Yingjie had noticed right away, offering that they run away together without looking back, so without warning, the two packed up what they needed and vanished into the night with a simple note saying they were going to travel.

✦ A beautiful yet destructive appearance with milky-white skin that glistens underneath the moonlight, soaking up its rays. Long, silky black hair billowing down his shoulders like willow trees, reaching past his slender waist. Yingjie carries a sense of eternal beauty yet dangerous with his black hues that flare crimson when angry. Standing at 5'11 and weighing at 132 lbs, Yingjie is a force to be reckoned with in his unpredictable thinking and ability to slay thousands in minutes. Jagged scars [ 3in thickness and 6in length ] lay scattered across his back from countless lashings, contrasting against his soft, milky-white skin. Dark blemishes lay wrapped around his ankles and wrists from being constrained [ one of his worst fears ] in total darkness, unable to communicate with anyone but his depleting thoughts. Yingjie has a multitude of smaller scars from minor scuffles and accidents he found himself in with his odd ways and a tendency to ignore the safer route. A large bite-mark on his left thigh and right side from being attacked by wolves with a series of claw marks covering the majority of his body.

Background
✦ Yingjie was born into the temple of Hadria; the god of death, so it was only natural for the child to follow in his parents' footsteps [ Yingjie ended up worshipping Ulrike later on in life ]. Training was excruciating, but he managed to make his parents proud as he sailed with flying colors but Yingjie knew this wasn't a life he wanted to live, but what could the small child do? As he grew older, his will shifted, causing him to ask outlandish questions that often left him withered, unable to move but a few inches to ease the tremendous pain blossoming underneath his tattered clothing. He differed from the other assassins. He refused to kill unless it gave him a proper motive, unable to come to terms with mindless killing. He wanted to protect the innocent and ruthlessly slaughter those who deserved a fate much worse than death. He craved justice, but Yingjie followed an unorthodox path from Hadria and Haroun.

His parents were furious. Ashamed to have created such a being that valued others above his own. A child who wanted to help more than destroy it. In fear of being cursed by Hadria, they locked him in an underground cellar for weeks, hoping to change his ways. That if they became more ruthless to their own child, then perhaps he'd become a monster just like them.

Yingjie was a stubborn fellow despite the hefty consequences. For the past fifteen years of his life, they forced him to endure countless lashings that left him black and blue. To endure being locked up like a wild animal, unable to see any form of light as he sat in the ankle-deep water, shivering until his "parents" let him out.

Growing up with little to no food, he opted to scavenge for food his village often threw out, hoping to quench his rumbling stomach. His parents refused to see him as their child until he apologized for being an embarrassment, but Yingjie refused to bow down onto his knees like some servant begging for mercy.

Turning the ripe age of fifteen, they dealt Yingjie an even harsher blow than normal, leaving him weak and unable to form even the basic of sentences. His parents threw him in that dreaded underground cellar with water now up to his thighs, forcing him to stand on quacking legs in order to not drown. His parents opted to leave the door unlocked after their latest lashing, knowing well enough that he could scarcely stand, much less escape into the wilderness with wolves and feral dogs roaming its woods.

They forgot just how stubborn their child could be and what they thought was an advantage became a weakness. The countless beatings he received over the past fifteen years only made his pain tolerance higher. Yingjie high-tailed it out of there and into the wilderness he had yet to explore as a toddler. With adrenaline running through his veins and the training he received as a child worked in harmony as he ran.

As soon as he entered the forest separating the temples of Hadria and Haroun. Carnivorous wolves soon discovered him with teeth bared and drool dripping down their open maws. Fear encompassed his heart, rooting him to his spot as he stared wide-eyed at the ferocious beasts, wondering if this was the day he was finally going to die. The carnivorous wolves surged forward, intending to tear him limb from limb until he finally snapped out of his initial shock and high-tailed it out of there.

The so-called alpha pounded on his small frame, sending Yingjie flying, leaving him dizzy and out of breath. Darkness invaded his vision, leaving him weak and defenseless as the carnivorous animals surrounded his weak frame with bared teeth and the thirst of his flesh. Voice quivering as tears welled up within his dull hues. He stared at the very beings that would send him to his grave until a flash of blue light graced his darkening vision.

Yingjie eventually woke up covered in bandages and herbal remedies, leaving his senses disorientated as he struggled to sit up. A cold yet gentle hand reached over to encompass his shoulder, nuzzling him before the sound of the guqin entered his buzzing ears. As he slowly regained his bearings, he wondered how he was alive, but soon got rid of the idea as he stared at the man dressed in white and blue.

A week soon went by with Zhiqiang taking care of the obnoxious fifteen-year-old known as Yingjie until he deemed the lateral able to travel without needing his help. Yingjie wasn't sure where he went the next couple of days, but he was naturally stubborn. Upon returning, Yingjie stuck to the boy like glue for the next three years. Zhiqiang was the first individual to show him such kindness and planned on repaying the debt by being the obnoxious and chaotic child he had always been. A life with him was never boring.

For the past three years, Yingjie convinced Zhiqiang to return to his family where he was introduced to Zhiqiang's parents, who couldn't be more happy he had made a friend [ even if Yingjie wasn't ideal, they were still happy ]. Yingjie continues to worship Hadria but has taken up worshipping Ulrike, mainly because of the horrible memories of his parents and life at the temple of Hadria. Zhiqiang continues to be clueless about and Yingjie plans on keeping it that way.

[Silver5596]

Homura Hochi

Age: 23
Appearance: Standing at 5'4'', bright red eyes and pure white hair are notable features. She dresses in traditional garbs of her region, a small island chain peaking out of the Seaside Coast. Physique suggests abundant training despite the seemingly thin frame.

Aspect/God: Fire, Eumira
​

Background: Homura belongs to a set of small islands known for their peculiar culture. Resources are used sparingly for what resources are on the island aren't the best. Most buildings are wooden, and the only counter to the resource deficit was good craftsmanship. Today, the land is a trade hub teeming with artisans and merchants, but there is another notable feature which Homura herself was raised in, a warrior class of notable skill.

Warriors trained in mastery of their unique swords known as katana or spears known as naginata permeate the island. Not only is this warrior class trained in martial arts, but also finery arts such as calligraphy, painting, tea brewing, meditation, bureaucracy and logistics, negotiation and speech, and even performance on some occasions. The idea is to become a valuable retainer to a master.

Homura was born into one such family, and to no surprise the family were devout believers in Eumira with their own small shrine which Homura attended as a child of the family. Tradition dictates the colors of servitude are white and red. While she tended the shrine with her mother and many cousins, she also learned the warrior arts known as Bushido from her father. Honor and humility as a result dictate most of her personality and code of conduct.

Each candidate, upon reaching the age they will travel as a Ronin to the mainland is allowed to commune with Eumira for a boon. Rarely is a blessing given, but Homura was one of those few. It wasn't hard to see why. Where her peers would get into trouble or act selfishly, she would choose to help others or share her bounties of work. Her entire being was a pure heart to serve with no inherit expectation of reward. With a fine blessing, she left at the age of twenty to find a worthy master. The reward was transforming her sword into a brilliant red, giving it properties of fire. As such, it was named Ebichi which can be roughly translated to Fireblood.

Personality:
Homura is a pristine example of the islands' unique lifestyle. Pious, polite, humble, thankful, and many other traits of their unique servitude heavy ways. The general consensus focuses on one's role in society over individualism, and as such, Homura is concerned with how she fits into the lives of others. She is unique in the sense that she has a strong moral compass and will not sit idly by to injustices. She believes it is her role to serve others, regardless of their status. She also enjoys trying new things be it food or skill. A very easygoing spirit who sincerely is kind to all who show her even a little in turn.

Blessing: Ebichi, a brilliant red sword bestowed to Homura warrior by Eumira for her exemplary service. The sword itself has properties Homura is unkown to, but the sword can become swathed in flame and said flame can even have slash extension properties to the blade.
