Burgomaster Burgoine THIS IS WHERE I WRITE MY CHARACTER ACTIONS THIS IS WHERE I WRITE WHAT MY CHARACTER SAYS Festus was the head of the Burgoine family crime syndacate. Previously He was well received by the local population and was not a wanted man. Even the nobility respected Festus as a necessary evil. Festus had a reputation that he did not accrue wealth but instead spent all of his money on good will in the city, earning him a sizable reputation. Recently both of his sons died due to suspected foul play during the riots, the same day, Festous was appointed to the position of Burgomaster by Senator Bismuthe to replace Burgomaster Todd who was also killed in the riots. http://i37.tinypic.com/auv3io.jpg Fotolio Burgoine THIS IS WHERE I WRITE MY CHARACTER ACTIONS THIS IS WHERE I WRITE WHAT MY CHARACTER SAYS Fotolio is the brother of Festus and notable wanted criminal in the city. Lady Gwylenn Vissendor THIS IS WHERE I WRITE MY CHARACTER ACTIONS THIS IS WHERE I WRITE WHAT MY CHARACTER SAYS Lady Vissendor is the wife of Lord Vissendor, the Senator of Brewing and Winery. She runs the Southside Winery and fraternizes with Festus. Kimly Bluew THIS IS WHERE I WRITE MY CHARACTER ACTIONS THIS IS WHERE I WRITE WHAT MY CHARACTER SAYS Kimly is the doorman at the winery and "gopher" prodigy of Festus. Alan THIS IS WHERE I WRITE MY CHARACTER ACTIONS THIS IS WHERE I WRITE WHAT MY CHARACTER SAYS http://www.signedpage.com/pictures/2009/brom-peter.jpg A talented climber, acrobat, and thief, Alan is a slim man, who lives by Festus' rule of non-violence. It isn't that he is particularly pacifist in his attitudes; he's simply not strong enough to do any damage, and has a very low tolerance for pain or discomfort when not on the job. He's a talented man, and a kind one, smart as a whip, though not as smart as Jericho. He's worked with the organization since he was a little kid, starting as a pickpocket trained by Thrule. Capricious : Mischievous. Level-headed. motto : Don't give a sucker an even break. Jericho THIS IS WHERE I WRITE MY CHARACTER ACTIONS THIS IS WHERE I WRITE WHAT MY CHARACTER SAYS http://i45.tinypic.com/e1ex6u.jpg The Brains of the outfit, Jericho can think himself out of a box, given enough time. He's the one that covers planning, negotiations, and tactics, even though he doesn't run the crew. He's a decent man with a billy club, but he prefers sitting down and talking things out, buying favors, or just running to fighting. He was the first man Gregory met when he came to the city, and he introduced him into the organization. Jericho is good friends with Gregory, but he is a bit afraid of him due to his own weak will and lack of confidence. Jericho did a bid when he was just a kid in Stormrend for something he didn't do... sure nobody in jail ever "did it", but he really didn't. As a result he was kind of made a criminal in jail and when he got out he left for the capital because he couldn't deal with the treatment he got in his hometown. Urgruk THIS IS WHERE I WRITE MY CHARACTER ACTIONS THIS IS WHERE I WRITE WHAT MY CHARACTER SAYS Urgruk is the heavy lifter and all around intimidation. Although everyone knows not to mess with Gregory, sometimes it's good just to have a nasty looking orc around. Makes people think twice. Usually Urgruk comes around the first time Gregory visits someone to have a talk with them, hoping that Urgruk's presence might just help inspire them to be more cooperative, but in truth, Gregory himself is far more dangerous, though Urgruk has smashed a few faces in his day... still they try and avoid that as if anyone talked it could mean Urgruk would be executed as a violent slave. Urgruk actually belongs to Lady Vissendor but she lets Gregory use him and in exchange they both stay out of her hair. Urgruk isn't stupid though, he's actually pretty smart, but he doesn't let most people know that. He used to be a sailor in the FFT which is why he and Greg bond so well. Urgruk doesn't mind being a "slave" because in actuality he lives like a king if you ask him. Mudjik-Konatz THIS IS WHERE I WRITE MY CHARACTER ACTIONS THIS IS WHERE I WRITE WHAT MY CHARACTER SAYS Mudjik is a crippled hobgoblin slave, his left arm is deformed, his back is slightly hunched and he's perpetually nasally congested. He serves loyally to Festus but is Lady Vissendor's slave by right and runs the front end of the Spirit of Tormauz. Sid Sid was a short tempered heavy drinker met early on in the campaign. His best friend Iggy was killed under precarious circumstances and the church was suspected of foul play. Iggy was forced to leave the area and flee for the countryside. THIS IS WHERE I WRITE WHAT MY CHARACTER SAYS Daryl Omnitov THIS IS WHERE I WRITE MY CHARACTER ACTIONS THIS IS WHERE I WRITE WHAT MY CHARACTER SAYS Daryl is the owner/operator of the red roof inn. He mostly stays out of his customers personal business and ironically works as a member of the volunteer militia but hates "the law". He also clings to a sense of duty and honor and a strong sense of individuality. Lita Omnitov THIS IS WHERE I WRITE MY CHARACTER ACTIONS THIS IS WHERE I WRITE WHAT MY CHARACTER SAYS Lita is Daryl's wife and primary shop keeper, she has started learning to speak elven being that they have more elven clients lately so a good exercise to keep her mind busy. Goruk THIS IS WHERE I WRITE MY CHARACTER ACTIONS Goruk is the slave orc child that is treated as an adopted son by the Omnitov family. Goruk cannot speak. http://moviesmedia.ign.com/movies/im...1124356187.jpg |

Madame Bluew THIS IS WHERE I WRITE MY CHARACTER ACTIONS THIS IS WHERE I WRITE WHAT MY CHARACTER SAYS Madame Ophelia Bluew is the no nonsense madame of the House of Joy. She takes in girls and gives them opportunities but she is very shrewd and has a habit of maneuvering herself so that anyone who crosses her will be at disadvantage. Rita Ray DECEASED Rita Ray was one of Tommy Burgoine's whores, most notably his prettiest. Like all of Billy's girls she had a drug problem, but that all ended when Jimmy Burgoine captured her and Cherry Blossom. Cherry was roughed up, but Rita didn't make it out with her life. Her death was tragic to Billy and Cherry. Cherry went on an expensive drug bender and Tommy became depressed. Rita's death resonated a lot with the local working girls and made them even more afraid of Jimmy. Cherry Blossom THIS IS WHERE I WRITE MY CHARACTER ACTIONS THIS IS WHERE I WRITE WHAT MY CHARACTER SAYS Cherry is an old friend of Jhya's, but more of a burden than anything. She's an addict and shameless prostitute of Tommy's. She very much has all kinds of issues and is considered to be a dreg of society. http://i44.tinypic.com/dr2kgh.jpg The Lejoune Brothers THIS IS WHERE I WRITE MY CHARACTER ACTIONS THIS IS WHERE I WRITE WHAT MY CHARACTER SAY Piotre and Vermoon are the twins. Cardinal Boothe THIS IS WHERE I WRITE MY CHARACTER ACTIONS THIS IS WHERE I WRITE WHAT MY CHARACTER SAYS Cardinal Boothe is the new Cardinal from the last of the Pristine Empire. Cardinal Saule THIS IS WHERE I WRITE MY CHARACTER ACTIONS THIS IS WHERE I WRITE WHAT MY CHARACTER SAYS Saule is the old cardinal from Tormauz. Captain Pierce THIS IS WHERE I WRITE MY CHARACTER ACTIONS THIS IS WHERE I WRITE WHAT MY CHARACTER SAYS Captain Pierce approached Invictus and offered him a chance to lead a new war wizard unit.

Invictus I cannot change the past. I am merely a wizard, not a historian. Invictus is a tall, lanky young man who does not cut an initimidating figure, yet there is a serious air about the young man and a look of determination. He usually appears in dress that is nice but not extravagant. One might assume he is some sort of lesser nobility or at least a child of a successful tradesman. Invictus is intensely private, especially in regard to his family or family background and makes it a point not to bring up the family history of those in his company. He is the head of the new division of war wizards in Tormauz being funded by the Church of XYZ. Mercury Mortiis THIS IS WHERE I WRITE MY CHARACTER ACTIONS THIS IS WHERE I WRITE WHAT MY CHARACTER SAYS Mercury is a war wizard volunteer from West Tormauz who has recently arrived to assist with the recreation of the war wizards in the capital. Commadore Erig Anstkel THIS IS WHERE I WRITE MY CHARACTER ACTIONS THIS IS WHERE I WRITE WHAT MY CHARACTER SAYS The capital city is land locked but has a sizable harbor on a massive lake. The boats here are all work boats though there is one small decommissioned galley. The Commadore works mostly with a fleet of citizen fisherman, though many are retired military. He is known to have been knighted by the old king before his passing and runs the day to day operations of the harbor. Chivalli THIS IS WHERE I WRITE MY CHARACTER ACTIONS THIS IS WHERE I WRITE WHAT MY CHARACTER SAYS I met Daeron and Invictus while fleeing the military, I was being chased by them presumably because my husband is coming after me. I was very angry at Invictus when he turned down my proposition. Olivia Branneth THIS IS WHERE I WRITE WHAT MY CHARACTER SAYS The Elementary Schoolmaster Kael THIS IS WHERE I WRITE MY CHARACTER ACTIONS THIS IS WHERE I WRITE WHAT MY CHARACTER SAYS Kael is the most reputed nuetral messenger in the city and uses his wind sprite to travel the rooftops at exceptional speeds. He donates his coin to foster care in poor districts and the elementalist guildhall and speaks notably with a thick cockney accent. http://i50.tinypic.com/2134wb9.jpg Character quote: "When does it need to get there?!" Character Name: Kael Height: 5' - 4" Weight: 112 lbs Apparent race: Human - Tormauzian Apparent Age: Late teens / early twenties, though his size and weight (due to childhood malnourishment) might lead some to believe that he is 4 or 5 years younger. Sex: Male Hair description: thick, dark brown locks, cut unevenly to shoulder length. Eyes: Green, shading towards blue-green in daylight Skin: The healthy tan of someone who spends a decent amount of time under the open sky. Clothing/specialty noticeable equipment description: Kael wears an antique Tormauz military uniform that he found in an abandoned attic - With a high collar (not pictured) and a military style several decades out of date, Kael initially raised eyebrows, but people have come to identify his ... unique... style with his task as a messenger, and wiser minds understand that it is a poor boy's attempted to acclaim his individuality. A further clue as to his calling is the mid-sized satchel which hangs on a strap that usually crosses his chest. A large knife and a few smaller pouches sit on his right hip. Extra-Sensory Description: In mage sight, Kael is surrounded by a mystical aura of blowing winds - a
Introductory description: The tiny teenager standing before you seems slight enough to be a scarecrow - the outdated military uniform sits loosely on his skin-and-bones frames, it's high collar buried beneath his thick, coarse, shoulder-length brown hair... When inside a building, green eyes dart around the area, scanning his surroundings from under heavy lids. Once under the open sky, his eyes seem to become bluer, and crinkle at the corners, as if the boy takes great joy in being in the outdoors. One hand rests easily, if protectively, on a courier's satchel that rests against his left hip and advertises his profession, though his whole body feels like a gently compressed string - not under tension, but ready to uncoil at a moment's notice. At a second look, he may be older than he first seemed - There is the shadow of a youthful beard on his chin, and though his face lights up at the slightest provocation, his eyes carry something beyond childish innocence. Perhaps he would be attractive if he cleaned up and filled out, but between his thinness and his unkempt bearing, he manages not to turn many heads. Strangely, even though he seems rough around the edges (homeless? poor? perhaps just unaware of social mores?), he always smells fresh - of summer breezes and rain-damp roof tiles.

Flidy Trinholm TEXT Fildy is a middle-aged man of noble, direct, and no-nonsense demeanor. Few can bring him to good humor (and he does not drink at all anymore), though a handful of close friends can. He has quite cultured and sophisticated airs, but it is seemingly intrinsic to his nature, for he rarely is in the company of those similar and prefers not to be. He rather disdains nobility (in fact, he hates them for the most part and wouldn't trust them if his life depended on it) and keeps any conversation with non-friends to-the-point and straight-speaking. Even with friends he is down-to-earth and practical and not disposed to flights of fancy or idle speculations. When on a given project he is fairly possessed with it and single-minded in his devotion. Flidy is a very busy man - in addition to being the functional right-hand man of Calemond and a firm believer and leader, he is in essence the deacon and handles finance and business where Calemond does not deal with it. He is quite skilled at this, perhaps as skilled as one can be at it, and enjoys it, all the more for that he believes in what he is doing and helping. He trusts Calemond implicitly as a friend and leader. Flidy as a believer is not known for speeches...his matter-of-fact droning style and dispassionate nature do not incline him to such, but he does hold what authority he has very well, and few would dare question him or his orders. His word, to anyone who knows or knows of him, is as gold as his touch. Jeron Caltz TEXT Jeron has never been a man of many words. What he does say is well-heeded by those that know him, because it has to be important. His wisdom is seasoned by experience - a one-time marine, in his younger days before he entered service with Garthemel De'Camp he saw a good chunk of the world and all, as he'd put it, it 'didn't have to offer'. Under Garthemel he was quickly put on as ward and retainer of his young son Calderon, and remained with the man even as he became a priest and saw him grow up and watched what was left of him (from a tragic fire) buried. He sunk into depression after and turned to drinking until he met back up with the acquaintance of Flidy Trinholm and by extension met the budding priest Calemond. Finding inspiration again, he quickly became a staunch ally. Among the group of Calemond and his compatriots, Jeron is the least well-humored...even compared to Flidy. No one has seen Jeron laugh, though some can detect a smile if they look very closely, occasionally, usually from some knowing exchange with Calemond. Kef and to a lesser extent, Jeffry, are fond of teasing Jeron, for the most part good-naturedly, on this issue - telling him jokes, or trying to get a rise out of him with comments on his age or the like. For his part Jeron rarely reacts, ignoring it, or giving a deadpan glare, with an occasional retort of some kind, never exactly humorous though Kef is uproarious about it all the same. Jeron spends the majority of his time watching Calemond's back. He is single-mindedly devoted to making sure nothing happens to him, and looking out for things that could bring that about. He is fairly paranoid in this endeavor, and it is routine for Calemond to call him off from being too 'enthusiastic' about it or making the wrong assumption. In his older age, he is not quite as spry, but more than enough for most younger fools who might underestimate him. Among locals, he's recognized at times just for the days over the decades that he'd pick fights in bars, mainly with out of towners, just to 'stay loose'. Kef 'The Slink' Rendevelt TEXT Kef is a guy everyone knows of if they don't know directly. Most of the 'knowings' are misconceptions and most peg him as irrelevant but tolerable. Some knew the truth, that really he was the grease of the city, a go-between, a middle-man of the sometimes obvious, mostly in-obvious. An altercation in recent years sent him deeper underground with mysterious allies...in the process making his perceived identity, in general, more shadowy and formidable. Though, curiously, there was no outward sign of a grudge for his near-death. But then 'outward signs' were something Kef was skilled at manipulating. Kef is not a striking figure at first sight - indeed, he cultivates being in-obvious and average as much as he can (despite the added difficulty of facial scars). As soon as one interacts with him however, his demeanor becomes obvious: at first dark-seeming, often by equally-dark humor, he can quickly be disarming and pleasant to most folk, though subtly, best summed up as 'acceptable', and to the bad-humored, 'tolerable', and the last more-so than most. He tends to avoid strong reactions in others, even among killers and the flippant or ornery. Somehow, someway, 'he's ok'. Jeffry Kilpendes TEXT Jeffry was once a part of the City Watch and Militia and still maintains a lessened role there. Largely he met Calemond by chance (he knew of him somewhat being an acquaintance of Kef), and over weeks simply talked with him. This eventually led to him becoming a member of Calemond's Brotherhood, where he fast absorbed the doctrine and soared to being a leader. Bright, eager, and a charismatic man's man despite his youth, he was well-suited as a disciple though he tended to get over-enthusiastic at times. Calemond keeps a careful watch on the young man and pours all he can into him. Jeffry is one of the few of the Brotherhood who preaches other than Calemond, and in a way has a few disciples of his own among the younger members, which Calemond is quite happy to oblige understanding the need to see the doctrinal foundations spread, one day. Jeffry is fairly easy to like, good-natured and outgoing despite any darkness in front of him or the people, sometimes even with a mischievous side. This was a trait of his before his 'mind was awakened to the truth', and was only made stronger after. At the same time there is an aura of a fighting man not to be trifled with - his hands are calloused from constant training with weaponry and his eyes don't fail to weigh and assess the capabilities of other warriors he meets. |
The Goddess Do not fight it sister, I will fight it for you... The sickness you feel, it is deadly, though you will live on through your faith in me... I will keep you safe from illness, but you must fight with me, not against me... Ambassador Yuvoh THIS IS WHERE I WRITE WHAT MY CHARACTER SAYS Hans Rowenstein THIS IS WHERE I WRITE WHAT MY CHARACTER SAYS Chiarra Finch THIS IS WHERE I WRITE WHAT MY CHARACTER SAYS Darius Finch's wife Vida This is where I type my speech. Livia Omnitov This is where I type my speech. Livia is Daryl Omnitov's half sister. She's a bartender at the Angry Eunoch and is a contact for Wynn Daeron Please note you will still have to change your color tag to red when speaking in elven a Character quote: "What's the rush? Relax and appreciate the world around you." Character Name: Daeron Undoeth Height: 6' 5" Weight: 185 lbs. Apparent race: Elf Apparent Age: around 20 Apparent Sex: Male Hair description: Long golden Eyes description: Clear blue Skin description: White Description: *new description to account for new clothing* The towering individual standing before you is taller than the average human. He stands about 6 and a half feet tall, and weighs just under 200 lbs. His cloak has a hood that is pulled up, obscuring most of his head from view. He has alabaster skin and piercing blue eyes. The occasional strand of golden hair straggles from the hood. There is a slight bulge underneath the cloak on his back, where he is carrying his pack. Additionally, underneath the cloak, he is wearing a loose tan shirt above brown breeches, held up with a leather belt. Hanging from the belt is a small brown pouch. In his hands, he carries an ornate staff. The staff is one of the most beautiful you have ever seen, with a winged figurehead you think could be an angel at the top set with a red stone as its torso. A large blue stone is also set just under the angelic ornament. The towering individual standing before you could not be mistaken for anything other than an elf. He is taller than most humans; he stands about 6 and a half feet tall, and weighs just under 200 lbs. He has long ears and a regal bearing to his posture. His skin is like alabaster; his eyes are clear blue pools; and his long hair strands of gold that flow loose in the wind behind him reaching nearly his waist when at rest. His garments look expensive, something you might see on one of the lower class nobles. He wears a bright red robe and sash over a black undergarment with gold embroidery at the throat and hem. He wears a backpack over his shoulder, and a small pouch dangles from the sash at his waist. In his hands, he carries an ornate staff. The staff is one of the most beautiful you have ever seen, with a winged figurehead you think could be an angel at the top set with a red stone as its torso. A large blue stone is also set just under the angelic ornament. http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/wa...ff_concept.jpg Daeron left for West Tormauz to seek a new life as a priest to help fight the corruption in the church of XYZ internally Dhoga Jhita This is where I type my speech. Ghurdohtis THIS IS WHERE I WRITE WHAT MY CHARACTER SAYS Shazikgun THIS IS WHERE I WRITE WHAT MY CHARACTER SAYS Arx-Imagio Their name comes from a passage in one of 'Young' Erail Yaen's works, describing the Kingdom of Tormauz immediately after it's founding. Yaen drew comparisons with a finely wrought citadel, the walls become the castles and strongholds, each city a tower, and the keep the capitol. No one part can stand alone, but they combine to become a thing almost unbreakable. It's a slightly overused metaphor by this point, but it remains part of the classics, and represents more than the military side of the nation. Who came up with the idea of using the metaphor as a celebration of Tormauz's history and glories is a debated topic, although all the current members of Arx Imagio can perhaps claim partial credit. Whilst Yannike was the one who came up with the term Arx-Imagio, the image of the stronghold, it was Niquette who gave her the idea, on a stroll of the city the two were taking. Unbreakable, indestructible, beyond the wear of time and mortal ruin. It might have been true once, but modern Tormauz wasn't exactly feeling like that before the riots, let alone after. It was perhaps unsurprising that a few young poets ended up striking up a correspondence over the idea. The small group all long for better times, and express such through their work; a longing for better times, and an discontentment with the current status quo. They have spent many letters bemoaning the decline that their nation has fallen into. Only recently have the six begun to meet in person. Whilst they enjoy each other's company, and have had long, interesting conversations that've lasted well into the night, the riots have stopped meetings for the last few days. Still, the small movement have grown quite close in the last month or two. Once things are finally quiet, the former meetings might resume, back in the palace library, with the occasional glass of tea or brandy, and copies of the greats to peruse.. One of a surprisingly many young nobles in the priesthood. Frederick was compelled to enter the church after a 'quiet word' with his Uncle Bartrand, who had designs on the family estates that would have otherwise passed to the boy, following his parents' deaths during the last Horde invasion. Thus, Frederick has come to embrace a position in the Church, putting his skill with the pen to the service of XYZ. He serves as scribe, librarian and secretary to Cardinal Saule. He's a little meek when in the company of his fellow church-members, but his poetical work tends to be powerful, extolling the light, and condemning the selfish and angered. It'd be a serious challenge to find a soul better adjusted to tragedy than Frederick deMaun. He's had to endure tragedy whilst young, the death of his parents, the loss of his titles through disinheritance. Yet deMaun has found peace with his current situation, and his place in the world. The family estate conjures up memories of the Horde, and his parents deaths. Tormauz, on the other hand, is a magnificent city, and home to kind, noble people. He is a little quiet, but happy in his lot, and wouldn't let it change for the world, Daughter of Lord Reagan d'Torres, Serra once grew up upon a country estate, far from society and the aemenaties of the city. She was an active, gentle poet in those days, focusing on romantic imagery, the beauties of nature and the honour inherent in noble service to higher goals. However, Serra is now a templar herself. Whilst until recently a novice, who has still had some time to spend upon her poetry, with the ongoing events, she has been given formal rank, making her a full member of the Order. Now, she's been called up along with many others to serve against the rioters, and has yet to meet with Yannike since the violence began. Serra's relationship with her father is a little complex. Whilst loyal to the old man, and having grown up hearing tales of his valor, she's set to try and make her own mark within the Order. She had a slightly romanticised view of what the duties of a Templar would be; not blind to reality and it's concerns, but her mind playing up valorous combat over more mundane, heartbreaking duties. Her reaction to the riots is something that Yannike, not having encountered her much since then, can only begin to guess at. 'Aera' Finn is proud, if nothing else. Of his heritage in an old Masonic family, of his forename, shared with the Philosopher king, and his position within the University Library. Supposedly Arch Mage Draykunn has trusted him to fetch restricted arcane texts for wizardly students granted clearance. That could well just be Finn trying to invent an anecdote or two to improve his standing within the group, however. Most certainly not out of character for him; more than one person has described Finn as a braggart, and the word nails him in one Aera is a talented poet however, though he seems to be unsold upon the principles of the Imagio that the rest of the group subscribe to. He prefers to meddle with the imagery, subverting it to pain bleaker pictures of where their nation might be headed than the more optimistic images that they hold to as the norm. He's perhaps the most 'roguish' member of the Imagio, although how he came to hold his current position in the University remains something of a mystery to his long suffering friends. A student of Ilya Bolove, 'Lyria is, oddly enough, the only common blooded person in their little group. She has the manners and mannerisms to fit in with high society, as you'd expect from someone used to dealing with the upper classes but she came to her position as a jeweller by skill. She grew up making cheap forgeries on the street, supposed holy amulets, faux silver tiaras... her big break came when caught, oddly enough, attempting a false Royal Crown for a supposed private collector. The Watch found her, however, and were on the verge of executing her before Senator Bolove ordered she be spared. Whilst some remnants of her past in the streets remain with 'lyria, ensuring that she remain self-sufficient where'er possible, she has a tendency to be a little shy in casual conversation with her betters, her formerly more assertive traits now a source of mild shame when confronted by noble born friends and companions. Still, she is as skilled at poetry as she is at other arts, and a good conversationalist (better when alone). Yannike can see a lot of herself in Elyria, and enjoys her company, as do most of the other Imagio members. Lord Ravaci, or Sir Nathaniel, is probably one of the best known members of the Imagio; although he's certainly not known for it. Child of a long standing merchant family, Nathaniel might not have many exploits to his name as of yet, but his good humor tends to leave a favourable impression on people. Couple this with his good, if wispy looks, reputed honour, martial skill and the prospect of inheritance, and the young knight is one of the most eligible bachelors in the kingdom, at least amongst the younger generation. He's the romantic dream of many a noble girl. (including Yannike, somewhat, though she's never admitted as much, even to herself) Nathaniel's a hard man to read. At first glance, there's the idealism, the fervour, the desire to advance and do great things tempered by the polite, refined nature of high society. He's a passionate believer in progression and forward thinking within society as a whole. However, the young man's current activities are human, and as a debutante of sorts, his primary goal has been seeking out glory over doing good deeds. He's a virtuous person in many ways, but not as without flaw as first glance might make you believe. |
