Character Name Tarron Silverfae
Race Elf
Background
Tarron appears youthful, as do many if not most elves, yet her almost teenage body holds more years than many would guess. Her eyes show her true age of about 100, though there is little strain on them as there is on so many of the elder elves. She grew up in the forest kingdom of the elves, born into the service of the Lady of the elves. The queen is not a harsh ruler and Tarron chose to enter the service of the guardians of the forest herself. She has trained in efficient use of the elven bow, being a good marksman but by the standards of her people she is merely an amateur. She has no real combat experience whatsoever, refraining even from hunting, and is almost naive in her great respect for life. In defiance of her elven heritage she has shaped her views on heart, rather than logic, doing what she feels is best rather than what is known to be right. With this ideology she has been in serious trouble with the high elves several times, for allowing intruders to enter the forest because she felt they were good caused her to be severally reprimanded, despite the intruder turning out to be friendly. Recently there have been calls for her to be expelled from the forest guard for her disobedient nature, but the queen herself has seen to it that she stay, for fear of her running out to the human world in anger at her dismissal.
Appearance
Tarron is tall for an elf, though not by human term at 5ft 11in. She is slender, rather than thin and this often makes her appear more in control than she actually is. Her eyes are an unusual dark purple. Her hair is long and iridescent silver, flowing down to her shoulder-blades but is normally braided or in a single plat twisted up on her head. She is normally seen in the uniform of the forest elves, a rich green that is made completely out of forest materials. The uniform is completely sexless and covers the body completely from head to toe. When not on duty she wears a long white robe over her forest green clothing and occasionally a traveling cloak of the same colour.

Character Name Tiliana LeNandra
Race Vampire
Background
Tiliana was a street urchin, she had vague memories of her family before the great fire had taken the village, she and her brother had been collecting wood for their mother when it had happened, they returned and the village was ablaze, flames licking the heavens themselves, she was about six then and her brother fourteen, they had been held back from searching the charred streets for their mother by a large sweaty oaf, her brother was furious.
 
They waited till the flames had all but died to a sickening orange glow, and then joined the search for those who hadn't made it out, their mother was among them, and their father had left shortly after Tili had be born, so they were alone. They had wondered around from village to village begging and scrounging.
 
When till was eight she lost her brother to another injustice of the gods, he had been begging for scraps for them and had been beaten to death by the tavern owner for his rudeness, Tili had ran to her brother after the man had closed his door but he was only alive long enough to tell her to be strong, he would always be with her, and he was sorry he hadn’t got her any food, she wept for days.
 
Half starved now she took up the role of beggar herself, choosing kindly looking ladies to beg from, this went on for about another two years before she was offered a home with an old woman she had been begging from on a regular basis, the deal had been she could live with the woman, and she would teach her to cook clean sew etc and in return, Tili would run errands for the woman and keep the house tidy. Tili had jumped at this offer and spent another two years living with the woman.
 
It was shortly after her second year with the woman that she was given a very important errand, the woman had told her that at twelve years old she was a responsible young adult and could do much more for her and handed her a parcel wrapped in cloth, she told Tili where she had to deliver the parcel and Tili had agreed.
 
Three days after she had left the old woman, her journey had come to an end; she stood in front of the huge doors and knocked. The loud creek as they opened only helped to add to her already building anxiety and she practically leapt as the tall thing pale stood before her asking her business, she looked up at him with wide eyes and lifted the small parcel for him to see and was led inside.
 
Here was where she met Nicolas DeCante, Lord of the manor, she had handed him the parcel with a message from the old woman, may these items help to repay some of my debt to you my lord, when she finished relaying the message Tili had turned to the door to leave, but a bony hand had grabbed her shoulder and she froze.
Appearance
"Yooou my dear, are going nowhere," the voice was cold and slow, she shivered and tried to move away, "You are part of my parcel," the voice continued, gripping tighter to her shoulder Nicolas turned her to face him and grinned, holding the parcel out to her he demanded she open it, it was a loaf of bread.
 
"Food is my parcel, but I do not eat bread" he told her, his grin widening to show tips of two very sharp looking teeth, "It is a message of a gift of food, and you are mine" before she could take it all in he had pulled her to him and buried his teeth in her shoulder, the pain was surprisingly little, her eyes slowly closed and her knees gave way beneath her, all that held her upright was Nicolas’ arm now wrapped about her waist to support her body.
 
When she awoke Tili had felt dizzy and hot, her shoulder ached and burned, she tried to sit up but her head swam so she laid still for a moment staring at the ceiling then slowly moved her head to the side to see where she was, the room was large and decorated with heavy velvet drapes, art, and panelling.
 
Once again she found herself longing for the comfort of her mothers arms and wept for her loss, she wept until a noise beside made her look round again, staring back at her was a big brown pair of eyes and a wet black nose set in a mound of brown and black fluff, Tili stared at it for a few seconds and then reached out and petted its head, the dog pressed its nose into her hand and licked her fingers.
 
The dog it turned out was called Boris, and he was ordered away when Nicolas entered the room, Tili stared at him anger and fear in her expression, Nicolas smiled at her and spoke quietly, “come now, don’t be like that little one,” he sat down on the edge of the bed and put a cold pale hand to her head, “the fever will pass” he said again in his slow voice, Tili pulled away from his hand and moved off the bed, the room swam for a moment but she made her way determinedly for the door.
 
She was almost their when her knees gave in again and she collapsed on the floor, “W... what did you do to me?” she asked looking back at Nicolas, her voice trembling, “I meant only to feed,” he told her, “but I was interrupted and lost my concerntration,” he looked at her now with a sad frown, he almost looked human, he told her she would never be the same, and that she was in essence dead.
 
Tili glared at him, “You have stolen my life, I will kill you before I am buried” she buried her head in her arms and wept once more, telling her self that from this day this would be the last tear she shed until Nicolas was dead, That was over 900 years past and she still hunted Nicolas DeCante, she knew she would be no match for him, he was at least  2000 if not older, but she would rather die trying than exist knowing he still walked under the same sky.

Character Name The Weasel
Race Detzunian (Psi-Evolved Human)
Background Fortunately, for The Weasel, his parents had both been techies in the Security and when his mother herself began to crack under the constant mental strain and finally reached a point where neural inhibiters could no longer suppress the memories or the mental stress they induced, The Weasel’s father was forced to given his wife and unborn child into the care of the Underground. The ultra secret rebel intelligence gathering and counter-anti-counterespionage organization had a plethora of other names and we thought by many to be an urban legend. But the Weasel’s father had believed at least some of the urban legends and in his down time he’d conducted his own investigations and using his vast intelligence and intricately educated knowledge of microcomputers and nanotechnology he’d managed to slip through a gap in the Security and establish an unfriendly report with a man who occupied a position of power in the upper echelons of the Underground. He told the man his wife was rapidly descending into madness and only distancing herself from her activity in the research and design department of Security held any hope for saving her. In exchange for looking out for The Weasel’s mother the Underground received assurances that they would receive intel gathering the security’s secret activities and movements. The Weasel’s father was inevitably found out and executed but by then his wife; whom he hadn’t seen for almost a decade and their manically energetic and extremely curious child had literally disappeared off the face of the earth. As a result of the neural inhibiters the child who the Weasel used to be went from being autistic to ultra energetic and developed multiple personalities. Personalities that owing to their own strong desires for survival watch over The Weasel every second of every minute of every hour of every day. The vigilance of these personalities is so strong with the absence of the neural inhibiters that they lend The Weasel an astonishing degree of physical and mental acuity and quasi-psychic awareness,…and a limited form of precognition The trade-off is an accelerated growth rate and an anti-social outlook and mental/emotional detachment. And a fierce; and often irrepressible, temperament. While he was chronologically a teenager he was physiologically a man well past his prime of life. The Weasel would never live to see true old age. The current accepted prognosis was that he had only another decade or two to live,…unless he underwent bionic augmentation. The dichotomy was a source of constant inner turmoil for The Weasel.
Appearance The Weasel stands approximately 5,9 1/8" tall, weighs approximately 193 lbs. wears a number of different coloured contact lenses and frequently dyes his hair, and changes the type of clothing he wears throughout the day

Character Name Todac Nehaal
Race Mage
Background
Son of Nerlac, resident mage of the Masacradii tribe Todac was raised to follow in his father's footsteps as a protecter.

Todac has travelled here there and everywhere, picking up things as he goes, but never quite achiving the greatness of his father. He tries hard and his heart in genuine and in the right place, his potential cannot be denied, but the boy is far too bumbling and unlucky to ever become a great mage. But it will not stop him trying!
Appearance

He wears long purple robes in an attempt to be more like his father, though he does keep a small hand dagger hidden up his sleeves. Something his father never would have done.

Character Name Tolan and Tamara
Race Human, Brother and Sister
Background
Tolan and Tamara are brother and sister. They have been at each other's side since Tamara was born. Tolan is a year and a day older than his sister. They grew up together with a caring family, but disaster struck when they were just 4 and 5, and both parents were attacked while walking home from a night out by a vampire. They were both killed, leaving Tolan and Tamara parentless. They were taken in by others in the village, but Tolan started several fires, and became known as a trouble maker, while Tamara tended to keep very much to herself. Only coming out if her brother was with her.
 
They were bumped from one family to another for several years, often suffering at the hands of their guardians. Tamara was an easy target, being young a weak. More than once she was approached by her supposed carers. When they were 12 and 13 the man who had taken them in got very drunk one night, regularly beating them both with little reason. This time he tried to take it one step farther and attempted to rape her. Tolan came to her aid, setting fire to their foster father without using flint or tinder, as he was forced away from tamara by an unseen force. That night they ran away, packing their meager belongings and making a living off the streets. So far they have been there a year and have managed to stay alive by begging, borrowing and stealing wherever necesary.
 
Tolan started setting fires when he was about 8 years old. He started with small woodland animals and other things, by the time he was 10 he had set fire to an empty house. Although at the time it didn't appear to be a 'magical' talent Tolan never had any trouble setting fire to anything, even after a sever thunder storms when everything was soaked. When he reached the age of 13 Tolan found that he was able to set fire to things with his mind alone, at the beginning only when he was angry or afraid. In fact the ability revealed itself during an argument with his carer. Tolan slowly developed control over his gift and now has almost complete control, except when he or Tamara are threatened.
 
Tamara was always a shy child, and preferred to sit quietly in a corner by herself or with Tolan than to interact with others. This gradually developed into her pushing away the advances of others and retiring further into her little shell. When she reached puberty at the tender age of 12 she began to be able to shut people away from her, literally pushing them away without touching them. Again she gradually developed her control and is now able to create an almost impassable barrier that shimmers like a waterfall. 
Appearance
Tolan is tall for his age at 5ft 8" and 5 and a half stone, coming across as wirey and underfed. His skin is deathly pale, mainly due to sleeping in the open and a poor diet. He is not particularly strong, but has a turn of speed that most don't expect from one so young. He has sky blue eyes and blond hair that is almost white, just like his sister. He usually wears old and torn clothes, looking very dirty. Tolan is now 14, but he grew up quickly in the city.
 
Tamara comes across as very small, being only 4ft 5" and about 4 stone. Her long almost white hair, while unwashed it is very neat, she spends much of her time sitting and combing it. Her eyes are emerald green, and would be very attractive if she didn't hide them all the time. She is usually dressed in old and dirty clothes, just as her brother, and she tends to be very scared of strangers. Tamara is now 13, and still has trouble going anywhere without her brother.

Character Name Tyvan Fallaize ((Part 1))
Race Human
Background
((See part two of profile for history; msn wouldn't let me fit it all into one posting because 'apparently' it was too long))
Appearance
Tyvan is a tall man, his wiry frame reaching nigh on six foot, but his height is over shadowed by the fact that he is quite thin. His skinis fair, but
 
tanned by years of travelling under the harsh light of the sun and his eyes are dark, one has to but look at them to see the power locked within, for he is quite obviously a mage. His hair is also a dark brown, cut neatly onto his shoulders; and is flecked with grey by his temples and peppered with the odd silver stand throughout. Oddly enough, he is clean shaven-or at least most of the time he is-for he has a distaste for the itchiness of a beard. However as of late, time has been hard pressed against him and a thin layer of stubble has worked its way across his cheeks and chin. Age lines crease his face, though on the whole he has aged quite gracefully. His usual dress is heavy robes and he favours one of deep azure blue with silver runic inscriptions about the hem lines.
Tyvan is a man most comfortable when immersed deeply in his own thought and one could quite easily be led to believe that he favours books over people. The old man’s collection of dusty tomes and odd, but usually worthless or useless, artefacts is extensive and his pride and joy. When it comes to his books, he is much likened to a young child, protective of his toys and at loathe to let the other children have a turn. Beneath it all, he does have a good heart, a trait that Rhiannon tends to bring out in him, but also possesses a sharp and often sarcastic tongue along with an air of arrogance. Ironically, he cannot stand patronisation or haughtiness; he is looked down upon by his social peers for his lack of respect for the unwritten rules and regulations of nobles but does not give a second thought to how he is regarded to the point that he could almost he described as misanthropic. He does not like to be belittled and has a prejudice against Elves for their self superiority, and let a love for their poetry and art.
Despite this, he is a charismatic man, when he wants to be, and charms his way out of many a precarious position, which is why he still accepted by his aristocratic neighbours.
He is a bit of a day dreamer and is definitely not a natural born leader; he detests having to finalise a decision, much in support of having someone back him up. Stubbornness is in his bone; to give up is to give in. As pig headed as a mule, there is little that can change his mind once it is set, though his decisions can be swayed by Rhiannon’s persuasion, though even then he clarifies it in his mind, as though he is the one on control. In many ways, Rhiannon acts as a softener to his mood, a calming influence and a voice of reason.

Character Name Tyvan Fallaize ((Part 2))
Race Human
Background
Tyvan was born into a rich and noble family; both his parents were mages of some power and so the talent was hereditary. His father was an overbearing man who cared little for his youngest son and, to a lesser extent, all other people. He was constantly patronizing and critical, and had obvious favourites amongst his children, namely his older, more mature, book loving brother. He was simply a man dedicated to his work and his books to such an end that he had no room for the joy of raising offspring. His mother cared for the two younger daughters, and did too for Tyvan, but the boy constantly looked to his father for approval, even for recognition.  But the two were seemingly as different as chalk and cheese. As soon as Tyvan was old enough, he was sent away to a mage school which formed the basis of most of his childhood years. As it was, all those years ago, he preferred practical and applied methods to scholarly practices and was constantly the child caught out doing something that was forbidden or inappropriate. It, in fact, was such a problem that he was transferred to a number of different schools and that only deepened a strong disparagement father felt for son. It was on one such transfer that he first encountered the young Enchantress Aredhel; the two clicked almost at once and fastened a life-long friendship. However, now nearing his early twenties, Tyvan was rapidly becoming bored with his cerebral teachings and boring existence. As many a young man, youthful and passionate about life, he longed for adventure. And so, stubborn of mind, broke away from his current school and into the night, taking with him just the clothes on his back and his small bag of coin. Suffice it to say it was barely a week before he was left  penniless and cold on the streets. Some may have given up at this point, but the young man simply refused to let himself be thrown down; if only to prove to his father that he was worth more than a lowly beggar. He began to work his way up the chain, doing odd jobs and serving as a hired hand. During this time he trained with weapons, whilst still practicing magic, although abandoning books and scrolls, and eventually set out with a band of fellow travelers. Tyvan lived like this for a number of years and it wasn’t until approaching his mid-late twenties that he finally gave up the life. The reason? A first encounter of love. She was a young Elf maiden named Nienna. Waves of beautifully dark hair and the biggest sea blue eyes; he fell for her almost immediately. As his fellow companions moved on, he stayed and the two settled down together. She taught him of Elven literature and it was at this point that Tyvan founded his love of books, especially those of Elfish nature. By his thirtieth year, the two had their first child; a beautiful baby girl. Tyvan was simply ecstatic and the babe, who was named Calyn, was his pride and joy, his sun and moon. Eventually, he spent so much time with his daughter, that his wife began to fade from the picture. He did not see the tell-tale signs. It was around this time that Tyvan was called back to his home, for his older brother had contracted fatal illness and died. If he had expected love when he returned, he was wrong; he’d not seen his father in almost a decade but the man had not changed one bit. His mother has been overjoyed upon hearing of her son’s family, but his father had been sneering; his son, of noble blood, had married a village girl, a pauper. Tyvan left after the funeral distraught and in outrage, only to worsen as he returned to his family…to the note his wife had left. She’d abandoned him, and taken his precious daughter with her. She explained that they had rushed things, married too soon and that she was returning to live with her parents. He heard only through the grape-vine that she had left with another man. Tyvan was left broken; his four year old child was to be raised by another man, his wife to share another bed; he’d lost everything.
Appearance
He could not stay in a place of such memories and so, packing up his belongings, moved on to another village. He isolated himself from others, kept only his books for company and spent copious amounts of time mourning for his losses. Eventually he took up residence as the village’s wise man, to fill in his numerous hours of spare time and keep his mind from his tender wounds. The village was often visited by slave traders, though Tyvan had never taken notice for he was constantly locked up within his home, and as he forced himself to recover, it was on one such visitation that he first encountered Rhiannon. At the time it had seemed like an easy answer to his problems; it had been almost a year and he did not wish to replace his lost daughter, but was desperate for something to fill the void. She was the smallest of the lot of the young slave children; tears had been flowing down her cheeks as she had sobbed quietly for her parents. Tyvan had felt a pang of sympathy and, acting on instinct, had purchased the young girl. She was as quiet as a mouse and was very untrusting; it took him almost a week just to get her to utter her name. It was three years later that he heard news that his father had died. Being the oldest male relative, he’d inherited the old man’s money, and his collection of tomes. Tyvan decided to move out to Eire, leaving his mother enough money to live comfortably with. After an incident whilst making the journey, Tyvan realised he wasn’t getting any younger, and hence decided to train Rhiannon up to be a guardian, although that didn’t come into effect until years afterwards. Once in Eire, he was, by a chance meeting, reunited with his old friend Aredhel. Almost ten years have passed in Eire and still Rhiannon only knows snippets of Tyvan’s past, and not even Aredhel knows of his daughter, who by now would be about 18.
 
Things changed when, in a tavern one night, he saw fit to save a slave from a beating to the death.  The strange circumstances that followed led Tyvan to one final adventure, accompanied Aredhel, a sorcerer called Joseph, the slave Raven, and Rhiannon.  A book that had found its way into Tyvan's hands led them to believe a force known as the Shadow Flame was about to be unleashed.  It was this adventure, though many moons into it, that led Tyvan to his death.  In a bid to save Raven from his comotose state, he sold his soul to the evil Lorkena, only to be killed not days later by one of his own party; Kalanzyr, a disguised drow who had been placed in their party as a spy by the goddess Lolth.  Lorkena revived Tyvan at her whim, and now he is the undead Ilska, a Kira of untold magical power and darkness.
