"Dark" Ayanna – (Rilrae’s adoptive sister and lover to Shar)
This character is an alternate realtify, evil version of the one above.

Race: Ethereal-born human
Age: Looks to be mid to late-20's
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 140 lbs.
Hair: White, but changes color with her mood
Eyes: Amethyst
Skin: Pale
Build: Average but thin, no tone
Special Features: None

Notes: Ayanna is an exceptionally powerful mage, who specializes in necromancy and other dark magics. She is a very macabre individual and torture and dissection are her favorite hobbies. She is not picky when it comes to sexual partners, and has some sadomasochistic tendencies. (she's the ho of the group and dresses like one! XD) She's spoiled and snobbish, never willing to do something when someone else can do it for her.

Ayanna grew up with Rilrae in the same adoptive environment, being rescued at a young age from the ethereal plane where her mother had been trapped, then later corrupted by Coranth's influence. They grew up together, but maintain a bit of a love-hate relationship. Though they seemingly clash constantly, they do still share a sisterly bond.

Diera -- (Kurai’s friend/party member)

Race: Fae
Age: Immortal (looks mid-20's)
Height: 6'
Weight: 175
Hair: Coppery red
Eyes: Blue-on-silver (envision a silver plate with a translucent blue scarf over it)
Skin: Light tan
Build: Lithe, elven-esque
Special Features: A red slash scar over her right eye

Notes: Diera started life as a common farm girl with a bad attitude and few skills that would peg her as an adventurer, until her fateful run-in with a mysterious man who gave her a strange knotwork-etched staff and a Faerie Soulstone. That set in motion a slow evolution within her that gradually turned her into a Fae Troll. In her troll form, her staffs become a large axe. She only takes this form when serious battle is about to ensure and she generally prefers her more elven looking form. She is also a trained assassin, the scar over her eye the mark of her calling. In addition to her staff, she carries a deadly dagger that she uses to make her kills. Diera is a longtime friend and comrade-in-arms to Kurai and the two get along fairly well, regardless of Diera’s fiery temper.

Farlan - (Naril’s friend/party member)

Race: Human / War Golem
Age: Early 20s
Height: over 6 foot
Weight: 150
Hair: Blond
Eyes: Green
Skin: Fair
Build: Heavy, broad and muscular

Notes: Farlan is a Sunblazer knight with quite a paladin complex. Tall and fair, with a stern look and a soft spoken manner about him. Farlan was possessed by the Darklord Tasman, a vampire of some renown, and battled that plague beast until the point of death. Though he ultimately fell to darkness his noble heart was tested beyond what his mortal coil could stand. He was then rebirthed into a golem body designed for war, though his body was built for destruction his spirit continued his simple path until his ultimate death. Farlan, from a very early time in his life, had a distinct liking for Naril. He seemed undisturbed by her strangeness, and slowly grew to love her. She returned his friendly affection but not his love, which he sadly accepted. He appointed himself her stalwart defender, and even in his war golem form it was not uncommon to she her riding quietly upon his shoulder.

Gloriana - (Kurai’s lover/party member NPC)

Race: Fallen Angel
Age: Looks late 20s
Height: 6’2”
Weight: 215 lbs
Hair: Platinum blond and slightly wavy, long, worn bound at top of head
Eyes: Gray
Skin: Fair
Build: Heavy-average and muscular
Special Features: Black feathered wings and a tarnished, broken halo. She also has whip-like chains like Kurai's she can manifest and control at will (like Spawn's).

Notes: Gloriana is a Fallen, an angel that fell from grace that now has demonic powers. She wears plate mail armor and wields a large bastard sword. She has a fairly no-nonsense personality but retains her sense of humor as well. Gloriana encountered Kurai early on in a brief scuffle that pitted the party against her, but in the end they talked it out and she joined the group, swiftly taking a liking to Kurai. Gloriana is Kurai’s longest running partner and they have several children both by birth and adoption (their demonic powers give then the ability to assume other forms, including male ones, if you were wondering how the two women could have natural children!) Gloriana is very protective and a tad jealous, but only of Kurai’s emotional attachments, as no one, single person can place claim over Kurai’s physical relations.

Joylin -- (Kurai’s friend/party member)

Race: Human (Wah)
Age: Looks late 30's to early 40's
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 175 lbs
Hair: Honey Blonde
Eyes: Dark Brown
Skin: Ebony (dark human)
Build: Average bone structure with exceptionally toned musculature

Notes: Joylin began her career as a Knight sworn to the Emperor of the Wah Empire. After her term of service, she chose to begin adventuring and see the world. After joining Kurai's party, she underwent a magical alteration into a were-leopard in order to have appropriate flexibility and muscle structure to learn the elven art of sword dancing. After mastering this technique, she won a position with the prestigious Dragoon Knighthood, a group of free knights sworn to defend the boundaries of the Prime Material Plane from outside invaders. She eventually developed a leadership position, re-creating the knighthood and bringing them to their former position of power and prestige. Since then, she met and married So'Jah, the Heir-apparent to the Fate Lands Empire, and they have a number of children. She also has achieved both a state of immortality and due to magical influence from her position with the Dragoons has eventually evolved into a dragon. Her draconic lore keeping position is as the holder of all knowledge relating to martial combat, and in this role she has worked to master almost all martial fighting forms of her world, both past and present. She serves on the Council of Immortals, trains, assists her husband with ruling duties, and devotes a great deal of time to her extensive family.

Kurai and Joylin are two very unlikely friends, and they might not have been if it weren’t for the dangerous events that threw them together. Though they are different in many ways, they share a great mutual respect and bond that grew through the shared experience of many life-threatening experiences.

Kaiva -- (Lariset’s husband/party member NPC)

Race: Winged human / Infernal
Age: Looks mid 20s
Height:6’0”
Weight: 190
Hair: Blond, reaches just past his shoulders
Eyes: Blue
Skin: Fair but tanned
Build: Average to heavy, muscular

Notes: Kaiva was born into slavery on a remote continent with an oppressive ruler ship. He was freed from slavery in his early teens and joined the Templar knighthood. Once his training was complete, he joined the Resistance that was working against the oppressive rule of that evil empire. It was when Lariset's group ended up on this continent that the two meet, at the headquarters for the Resistance.

Kaiva has born of the Exiled Royal's line. Arioch's brother was deemed a traitor and exiled, his wings turning black in the process, and hence forth all of his progeny were born with the same black wings. They are generally feared and shunned by other winged humans for the sheer fact of what they represent, regardless of the nature of the person who has them. (Note, most winged humans have cream to brown colored wings, except for the royal line which have white). Kaiva had to work hard to gain acceptance from the Winged People before he and Lariset were married, but his deeds won them over and the People were delighted to have a Royal Couple that was actually happy with each other.

His dress varies from simple to complex, but he always tries to include the Templar's double-barred cross somewhere on his person. His wings are black; feathery to start and then leathery when he becomes The Infernal.

Kaiva is strongly protective and stalwart in his aid to causes he sees as right. Behind Kaiva's composed exterior, he is sensitive, caring, and dedicated. He's not afraid to show emotion or weakness, unlike so many other men. He's also a consummate romantic. He's very attentive to Lariset, supporting her when she needs it and defending her forcefully when necessary. Lariset enjoys the attention and is touched by his careful care of her. She often chides him when he takes unnecessary risks, and is just a defensive of him as he is of her.

Height: 5’5”
Weight: 115 lbs
Hair: Black
Eyes: Red
Skin: Gray
Build: slight, muscular for an elf

Notes: Kalee is a shadow elf and a child of the royal family. However, she prefers battle and strife over the coddled life of a princess.

She is dour and reserved, known as the ‘little black rain cloud’ of the group, hiding behind her hooded cloak not just to hide from the sun, but from the cheery faces of onlookers. Despite this attitude, she has been Jorie’s friend for quite sometime, and they have been through many battles together. Kalee a pair of elvish scimitars as a weapon.

Ky’tharana Silvermane aka “Kay” (Rilrae’s adoptive mother)

Race: Moon elf
Age: Look mid 30s
Height: 5’9”
Weight: 135
Hair: Silver, very long and straight, worn bound in a ponytail at the top of her head, with spiky bangs that cover her eyes.
Eyes: Gray
Skin: Very Fair
Build: Lean but with decent muscle tone. Angular facial features.
Special Features: Kay has an extreme beauty unsurpassed among elves. Her beauty is so striking that it always elicits a reaction, be it awestruck wonder, rabid jealousy, or wanton lust. Kay wears a veil to cover her face when out in public, though she will drop it when she is around close friends she trusts, who are used to the effects.

Notes: Kay is a Bladesinger who wields dual scimitars in battle. Her battle attire includes elven chainmail armor, a wrap tunic, soft breeches, ankle high boots, and gloves. She is also a spellfire wielder (raw magical energy that appears as a silverfish flame). She is somber and withdrawn, seldomly wearing a smile, but she does warm up a little when in private quarters around her close friends.

Kay's childhood is a distant memory for her. Her beauty became her curse before she even reached adolescence, when she was forced into slavery. She spent many years as a pleasure slave and suffered a great deal of brutal treatment from different owners, though they were always careful not to mar her perfect beauty. She grew to hate and despise men in all forms and station, and became a very closed and mysterious individual.

She was saved from this life by Lord Silvermane, the current head of the ancient elven noble house. He took her in and helped cure her ailments, as well as trained her in the art of the sword so that she would never again be taken advantage of. She was a fast and adept student, picking up basic sword craft and moving on to the Bladesong soon after. She grew to respect him and he became one of the only men she came close to trusting.

However, his son was not so saintly. One late night he cornered her and insisted that she show him her face, and when she refused, he torn the veil off. He found her beauty irresistible and tried to force himself on her; she fended him off but nearly killed him in the process. The elves were appalled when the news spread, but the Lord was only saddened. He had been concerned for his son's increasingly dark attitude. He consoled Kay and exiled his only son, assuring Kay and the masses that it was inevitable, as the blades of ruler ship would not have accepted him if he had darkness in his heart anyway. He only shocked the public more when he named his adoptive daughter Kay, as the new heir. The news sent more ripples through the elven society, but none could question his choice as he had no remaining children. It was decided that it was best for Kay to spend some time away from the Isle though, so she left and joined a band of adventurers.

These adventures brought them into the Underdark, and to the Drow city of Menzoberranzan. There Kay encountered a young Drow girl named Rilrae. Kay saw a potential in the girl, but also the fear and anger of a caged soul. Recognizing that face as one she wore herself in her young years, she offered to take the girl with her. Rilrae accepted, and she was raised by Kay and her companions alongside a human girl, Ayanna, and a young yaun-ti Naikaiya.

Poeso (Meryu’s best friend)

Race: Were Bobcat
Age: 28
Height: In midform 5'5
Weight: 150
Fur: Bobcat patterning
Hair: Short- to jawline, and squared at the bottom. Rosette spots like a bobcat
Eyes: Light Olive Green
Build: Short and stocky. Medium rack with wide hips and large thighs

Notes: Poe (as called by most her friends) is from Northern California where she was raised by the Yurok tribe that found her. She spent most of her life growing up on the reservation studying nature and playing with the other children. She is somewhat of a smart ass and likes to sneak up on people. She can be slightly naughty with the games and tricks she like to play on others, but never in a malicious way. Her favorite thing is to hike down to the ocean and spend time with Meryu. Meryu is one of the few people who understands and accepts Poeso for what she is, and for that Poe is extremely grateful. She will always cherish Meryu and thinks of her as one of the family. Poe does everything she can to spend time with Meryu and will always be buy her side.

Quilyn (Kyriss’ cousin/party member)

Race: Mixed but looks mostly elven
Age: Looks 18
Height:
Weight:
Hair: Silver
Eyes: Purple
Skin: Fair
Build: Light average, toned but not too muscled.

Notes: Quilyn is the daughter of Shar and Ayanna, which makes her Kyriss' cousin. The two have a great deal in common, both being the adventuresome sort, and they got in a decent amount of trouble when they were younger. It seemed only natural that when they went out on real adventures that it would be together.

Rasharmyr Silvertear aka “Shar” – (Rilrae’s half brother/party member)

Race: Half-Demon/Half-Drow to start, then later Silver-skinned elf
Age: Looks early 20s
Height: 5'6" / 5’8”
Weight: 110 / 135
Hair: Black / Silver
Eyes: Green / Black
Skin: Black / Pale & silvery
Build: Light average but well toned.
Special Features: A silver tear-shaped stone in his forehead.

Notes: Shar is Rilrae's elder half brother. Fathered by a demon lord, Shar was their mother's first attempt at bringing power to their family. But he was born a male, and therefore of no use in a matriarchal society. He eventually escaped the Underdark after their mother's death, and joined Rilrae on the surface. Upon joining Rilrae and her companions, he was instantly smitten with her best friend, the white mage Ayanna. It was this blossoming relationship that turned him from the shady path he walked. He has since purified himself and is now mostly elven, as well as being the master of the Elite training center. He greatly respects his sister; she was one of the only people (outside of his wife Ayanna) that truly understood him. He was greatly pained by her death, and would trade his own given the chance.

He wears a black body suit that covers his whole form except for his head and hands. He wears a deep crimson tunic over that, and soft burgundy boots. The gauntlet he wears can also be a sword, or shrink down to a bracelet, but he's never without it. He wields any number of weapons, but always of the long sword or scimitar variety. He also has a set of demonic plate armor that he wore in his early days, and a set of mage robes he wore on occasion in his later life.

The Seventh Sword - (Kurai’s lover/party member NPC)

Race: Human
Age: Looks younger than he should.
Height: 6'1"
Weight:
Hair: Silver, braided in a pony-tail that hangs to the waist
Eyes: Lavender
Skin: light tan
Build: Muscular
Special Features: He has a tattoo on his face that incorporates seven swords

Notes: His title of Seventh Sword, marks as the premier warrior in the world. The trial of the seven swords is a competition constantly held but the greatest warriors in the world, one whose ranks can change at a moment’s notice. He has held the top rank for so long that his original name has been forgotten, and he is own known by his title.

The Seventh is a mysterious man. Little is known of his origins and he doesn’t volunteer such information. He’s generally a cool, smooth character, with a fair share of arrogance attached. Kurai held an instant fascination for him the moment they met, much to Gloriana’s dislike. It did not take too long for the two to form an intensely passionate physical relationship. This lasted for quite sometime, and after a few years the Seventh began to officially court Kurai. Kurai had never been one to even think on the topic of marriage, but the Seventh’s attentions intrigued her and she went along with the idea. Gloriana developed an obvious dislike for the Seventh because of this, but she grudgingly respected Kurai’s choice. Time passed and the Seventh got involved in the start of a brand new knighthood with Joylin, and the time he spent with Kurai grew less and less. The two had a falling out eventually; Kurai angry that she even let the man tempt her into considering a committed pairing. After that she went back to Gloriana, who happily accepted her return, and Kurai maintained a purely profession relationship with the Seventh after that.

Sinonome Gin Sônzai aka "Shino" (Jyr’daen’s Lover/party member)

Race: Moon Elf and Kitsune Spirit
Age: Looks late teens, early 20s
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 123
Hair: Midnight blue and very shiny
Eyes: Cobalt blue.
Skin: Ivory with bluish touches at the cheekbones, under the eyebrows, back of the neck, small of the back, and others
Build: Very slight, no muscle tone
Special Features: Typically she lets her fox ears show instead of her elf ears, and occasionally her tails pop out when she's excited or angry. In her kitsune form her fur is the same color as her hair, with ivory underfur. She has five tails. She also has a spiritual kitsune form that is a fox-elven bipedal hybrid. She is ghost-like in this form and always appears naked, but without details (no nipples, navel, or body hair).

Notes: She is a priestess of Selune, the goddess of the Moon, and is always adorned with this symbol somewhere in her clothing. She enjoys helping people and works hard to keep all her companions safe and healthy. Though she is fully elven, her family was part of a small band of moon elves that migrated to Kozakura (AD&D's version of Japan). Early in her life, when the gift of the kitsune spirit displayed itself, her parents took her to the temple of Selune seeking guidance. Shino was taken in by the priestess of the temple and they finished her upbringing. Because of this, she's much more familiar with the Kozakuran culture than she is Elven. In edition to being a normal priestess of her god, she is also a Divine Oracle. She is gifted with visions of the future that, though rare and brief, help assist in her companion's plights.

She developed an interest in Jyr'daen-- seeing him as an exotic fascination, but also a very wise and stoic man. Her shyness kept her from approaching him for a great long time. Jyr'daen was in no hurry; he was intrigued by the woman but had no interest in a simple crush, so he felt it best to leave it be until he was sure there was genuine interest. This came in time, and the two began a tentative and relationship. Jyr'daen was pleased that Shino, then a virgin, was willing to allow him the honor of giving her her first sexual experience. At that time the quest had grown very dangerous and stressful. Their relationship grew leaps and bounds in a very short time as the two found solace and support in each other through a great many dire situations.

When Shino joined the group she was very prim and proper, with excellent manners. She was fairly naive originally (still is, a bit), and tends to blush readily when her companions make off color remarks. She's since loosed up a bit and adopted more of the freer, elven philosophies to which she is native. She is now, for the most part, a balanced mixture of the two social cultures.

The Silvermane Children: Jilah, Vadren and Iriael - (Kyriss’ siblings, children of Rilrae and Coranth)

Race: Mixed (moon elf, drow, fae and deep dragon) but looks mostly elven.
Age: Jilah looks mid 20s / Vadren looks early 20s / Iriael looks mid-late teens.
Height: Jilah 5'8" / Vadren 6'0"/ Iriael 5'10.
Weight: Jilah 135 / Vadren 185 / Iriael 125.
Hair: Jilah silver-lavender / Vadren black / Iriael silver-white.
Eyes: Jilah violet / Vadren blue-gray / Iriael green.
Skin: Jilah pale ivory / Vadren maroon (like mom's) / Iriael soft black with red tinge.
Build: Jilah light average, no tone / Vadren average but well muscled / Iriael very slight with toned muscle.
Special Features: Vadren has ears similar to his mother’s but the serrations are not so prominent.

Notes: Jilah is the eldest and most proper. She is the primary heir and is quite serious about her position. She constantly chides her younger siblings (mainly Kyriss and Vadren) for their unbecoming behavior. She was born with an extraordinary gift for magic and is pursuing that in addition to her duties as heir. A funny quirk about her is that she has rather large breasts. Larger even than her mother’s and MUCH larger than is normally seen for elves. She’s quite embarrassed over the fact, and tries her best to draw attention away from them.

Vadren is their second child and only son. Rilrae was pregnant with him during the conflict that resulted in Coranth’s limp (see Coranth’s bio) during which she was forced to assume full dragon form. Rilrae nearly died giving birth to him, but the clerics were successful in saving both mother and child. He was born healthy but with an unnatural tie to his mother. He also gained many more of the draconic features than the other children. Though a friendly and easy going soul, he is also dutiful like his father. He became a chosen of Bahamut, a paladin to dragon kind and slayer of rogue dragons. He prefers duel long blades or long blade and shield. He wears plate armor in battle, but prefers loosely wrapped tunic and trews the rest of the time. He cherishes his mother almost as much as his father does, and gets along easily with all of his siblings.

Iriael is the youngest of them all, born after Kyriss. She is the most quiet and reserved of them all, taking after her father in many ways. She heard the calling of Ellistrae (Goddess of good Drow, Rilrae’s chosen deity) early on in life, and chose to become a warrior of faith like her father. He passed to her his bow and sun sword, and she works with the organization Rilrae created to help assist good and neutral drow to the surface. She loves all of her siblings even though she speaks with them little.

Wayvern - (Quilvess’ husband/party member NPC)

Race: Demon, but maintains a consent guise of a dark elven
Age: looks 21ish
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 110
Hair: black with red at the every ends
Eyes: Amethyst
Skin: pale
Build: Lean
Special Features: In his demonic form his skin has a look of thickened oil, with the shadowy places of the body being totally invisible. The overall appearance is elven in this demonic form, but with elongated ears and limbs.

Notes: Wayvern is a mysterious man. He has a shadowy, dark passion that shows beneath his smoothly controlled face, but most people find him intriguing rather than frightening. He is generally a serious man, though he is known to quirk a smile when life amuses him. He is passionately attentive to Quilvess, and the two have an unbreakable bond. Wayvern prefers layered, flowing robes in dark colors with metallic accents. He also has an elaborate metal gauntlet he sometimes wears on his left hand (like the Witchblade, but simpler) and a circlet of a similar style with a violet stone in the center that he wears very often.

Wayvern was one of the 13 Lords of Chaos, the third tier of the ruling body of Hell. During his rule, he had a lover that was to receive an extreme punishment. Wayvern showed mercy upon this person and allowed them to escape. In return, Hell punished Wayvern by removing his memory and forcing him into a mortal life for 1,000 years. He spent those years as a dark elven conjurer with no memory of his origins as a Duke of Hell. It was during this time that he met and fell in love with Quilvess. When the time came for him to return to Hell, he was saddened to leave her, but they were reunited years later after Quilvess and her band finished their grand task.

Quilvess lived with him in his domain in Hell for quite sometime. All of the Dukes and Lords draw their power from a particular emotion. For Wayvern it was passion. He quickly grew in power with Quilvess near him, for she did much to engender that emotion. The rest of the denizens of hell were jealous of him, both for having such power and such a desirable consort (All demons are naturally attracted to fae). It was during this time that Quilvess and Wayvern decided that they wished to have children, and thus the unique child Naril was born.

Sometime later there was a great war in the realms below and Hell’s power structure collapsed. Wayvern and Quilvess left Hell forever and took on a new path, the both of them undergoing a change that severed them from their elder realm origins and tied them directly to the Goddess. They have continued on this path every since, Wayvern becoming the World Mage, and Quilvess the aspect of the Mother. They had several more children (naturally this time) and lived in relative peace.
