[Dead Romeo]

Name: Gilly Highhill
Gender: Female
Age: 37
Species: Halfling
Family: the Highhill's are not really blood-related but a group of dastardly thieves who train young halflings to be assassins, diplomats, entertainers...all for a bought hand in human politics. Currently, there are 12 members of Highhill: 4 elderly mentors, 5 active members, and 3 trainees.
Personality: Gilly may be one of the youngest members of Highhill, but her quick wit and observations make her a swift candidate when subtly is needed and exploitation is wanted. Outwardly, she's quiet but it's the only sign you'll receive before she's taken everything you're worth. She's not anti-social but she's not readily trusting either, making her lack a sense of loyalty even among her comrades. Her flaw? She's slightly...daring. If the halfling thinks she can take the mission a step further, she'll walk a whole mile before she'll finally call it finished.
History: The halfling was a rarity of Highhill, being born in the family rather than a bought slave or bribed orphan. Even so, she doesn't have the information of who her parents are or, perhaps, were in the organization. Her earliest memory involved receiving acrobatic drills for Master Ienia, a bitter crone with saggy wrinkles and a permanent frown. Gilly trained, and gambled, for the next 19 years before she was given her first mission, stealing a stack of correspondences from a local noble woman. They turned out to be love letters -- and not from her noble husband. The Highhill's used this as leverage for funding in another "adventure" Gilly would take part in. It earned her a busted wrist and two scars, but she never lost that fight. Now she was on the ledge of a window, waiting for the opportunity to make her entrance.
Current Goal/Purpose: To not get caught, but that is the advantage when the roof-tops is the escape route.
Appearance: Gilly is lithe being. Not even 4 feet, she's the size of a small child. She has dark leather skin, even darker eyes, and freckles across the bridge of her nose. Her ears stick out a little too much, short brown hair with a cowlick, and a gap between her front teeth. She isn't beautiful, not even pretty, but she has a sort of charm about her that draws people in despite her odd looks.

Gender: Female

Age: 19

Species: Human

Family: None

History/Personality: Sara doesn't know what happened to her parents. She was abandoned when she was a baby. She was brought up in an orphanage in the city of Muradra with six other kids. During her time there, she spent 90% of it by herself and didn't associate with anyone else there. She taught herself how to read and was always seen with a book. She dreamed of going on adventures and seeing what the land outside of that city was like. The week before her 12th​ birthday, she started preparing to leave on her journey. She gathered up the small amount of money that she had, the few belongings that she owned, and food which she snuck into her things after meals, then left the night of her 12th​ birthday, making sure to leave no trace that she was ever there. Over the next few years, living on the streets a neighboring city called Dreia, she had to learn how to survive on her own. She became decent at thieving and was quick to read people so she knew what she needed to do in order to get what she wanted. Even though she was a loner, she managed to make a friend in the city, an elderly man who also didn't have a home. He had helped her when she first arrived in the city, and after learning the man was slowly dying, she decided to hold off on her journey and stay and help him anyway she could.

History: Her family died young, a man called Robin took her in and raised her like his own, taughed her to fight with a sword, and even showed her how to become a better archer than him. She could hit anything within 500 ft without fail.
Current Goal/Purpose: She is currently trying to give the power back to the poor, and it's working so far, so wish her luck!

[lasilintu]

Name: Eldar

Gender: Female

Age: Old

Species: Wood elf/High elf

Family: Father (wood elf) and mother (high elf).

Personality: Daring and ambitous. Always looking for a worthy opponent.

History: When you're immortal life tends to get boring. That's why Eldar decided to hit the road and travel the world and hire her sword to those who needed it. She was already a skilled swordswoman when she started traveling but after few decades of battles (there was always a battle somewhere) she became truly exellant and ordinary little skirmishes between power-hungry noblemen weren't enough anymore. It was too easy, since often the opponents were bearly peasants who were given a sword and an order to fight for their lords. So now she travels from place to place in the search for worthy opponents who would give her the challange she needs to get away from the boredom of immortality. She travels with her friend, and elf man called Celion Smallears and his cougar friend Blacktail. Celion is skilled hunter and their guide through the wilderness.

Current Goal/Purpose: Fight a worty opponent.

Appearance: She is tall (about 5.9 ft) and has long dark brown hair. Her blue eyes are always serious, even when she smiles. She's always wears a beatiful elven made scale armor and dark green cloak without any insignia. The scales of the armor are decorated to look like leaves. On her back she carries a wooden shield and her sword is also beatiful and elegant (elven made) with ornate pictures. The sword is sharp and well crafted and it never seems to be stained, not even after a battle. Dispite her lithe build, the weight of her gear doesn't seem slow her down and she's always fast and agile.

Personality: Playful and cynical, he finds life amusing, and enjoys going against society rules. In his heart, he is in despair, shamed and disgusted of himself that he alone could not save the name of the Meyster family, making him guarded when approached about his past.

History: The Inner Circle was the government of the city, monarchy was dying and the noble families were becoming a thing in the past. Stefan's family were the last of true noble blood living, and wholeheartedly believed the Inner Circle was the death of what rights purebreds should automatically be guaranteed. Stefan growing up was a spoiled child and when he reached his teen years, it was then his father was assassinated, accused of a plot against the Circle. The rest of his family was hunted, and to save the last blood in the line, Stefan was forced to go into hiding under their servants, who were highly paid to keep him safe until he could fend for himself. They treated him like an outsider and he lived the rest of his teen years roughly, learning the way as a poor man for once in his life. He joined the organization called Chain Blades, and took up a new name, Lucien. The organization was a rival to the Circle, believing that they were worse than a monarchy, but dictating the entire population with their lies of equality. He rose up in the organization as one of the most revered Leaders in their movement, making a name of himself in the city once again, hiding his true identity.

Current Goal/Purpose: To bring down the Inner Circle and avenge his family's death.

Appearance: He is very tall and regal, despite his ragged clothing. His eyes are a piercing pale blue and his hair is long blonde which is always tied in a braid. He has chiseled features, possibly handsome if it weren't for his wild beard.
