Oh, I forgot to add theme song. 

 

 

He will be executed for his deeds against Ascxil.

 

Puhlees, like you nobles care about dead commoners. 

 

 

Not executed. Simply killed in combat. I wonder, Anima. Might have either your birdie or Slice Y's birdie have crossed swords with Minerva in the past?

Might be interesting, is all.

 

Maybe, though it wasn't any real engagement. 

I mean, Minerva's still alive.

Theme Song: Sabaton- Into the Fire

Name: Henry d’Alaistra, Blackbird

Race: Human

Age: 28

Gender: Male

Appearance:

Personality: Henry may be a perfect example of a Lunian gentleman. Well manner, well educated, with a kind smile on his face and apparent loyalty to the Queen, Henry gives no room for rumors and slander. Partly because he’s born phlegmatic, partly because of the iron discipline with which he keeps reign over his emotions, Henry rarely let his feeling get the best of him, and ever more rarely does he let it show in his demeanor. The greatest strength Henry possesses is his focus. Once he has a goal in mind, he will resort to anything to achieve it.

Bio: House Alaistra is glorious. There is no other word to describe it. From wars with Felicians centuries ago to the present day scuffles with the Ascxil Empire, men and women of Alaistra have lived, fought, schemed, bled and died for the glory of their house and the kingdom of Lunia. With the prowess and discipline of the Ascxil and the innovative mind of Lunia, holding the lands bordering both the empire and Roiassau, family’s power is ever increasing.

As the latest scion of this most noble lineage Henry has inherited the duty to maintain and further increase the wealth and power of the House. Indeed, he has already proven his mettle in battle. His first combat experience was skirmishes with the Felician raiders when he was barely 16, but his battle fame came later, from fighting other humans. It was he, instead of his father Charles, who led the forces of Alaistra in the most recent war with Ascxil, winning two major battles and several smaller skirmishes. He showed off his magical power during this war, burning down the wooden gates of one Ascxil city with the fire he conjured, allowing an easy capture.

In the recognition of his deeds on battlefield the old Queen, the mother of the current queen Kryssa, chose him to be one of the Songbirds and bestowed upon him the name “Blackbird”. The prestige of this act was lost on Henry, for every generation of Alaistra had at least one family member within the Songbirds and he felt no sense of accomplishment of doing something what his predecessors did with consistency before him. Still, the young man’s ambitions were flared. La Gloire of his household can yet be increased and one day- who knows? -maybe even crowned!

Stats:
Strength: B
Agility: B
Stamina: B
Mana: S
Wit: D

Traits:
Duc de Frontiere- Unofficial title (in truth, more of a nickname) of the “Border Dukes” has been in Alaistra family for generations. The bulk of the family lands is located next the borders with Ascxil and Roiassau and, if one counts all vassals of the House, the entire dominion of Alaistra stretches from coast to coast and is named “Termonera”- Frontier in the Old Lunian. Such position has made military the primary concern of the household leaders. Not only does Termonera provide the kingdom with its finest soldiers, but the nobles of the family are expected to be well versed in the matters of war. Henry is no exception to this and he has shown considerable knowledge of the art of war.

Richesse Inépuisable- Good armies require money, and Termonera has wealth in abundance. Large arable lands, numerous trade routes passing through it and plethora of iron and silver mines fill the coffers of the House. A member of Alaistra family, especially the next head, will never be lacking money.

Apres moi, la Desolation- Henry was born with the powerful gift for magic. Although he possesses great theoretical knowledge and adept practice in all arcane schools, his forte is control of the elements, especially the fire magic. Henry has earned infamy among Felician tribes close to the Lunian border and in Ascxil for his indiscriminate use of the large-scale firestorms against his opposition.

Inventory:
L’Épée du Merle- An elegant basket-hilted sword Henry’s father gifted him when he was accepted in to the Songbirds.

 

When I think about it, this is just male, less stuck-up version of Leonora.

It is a rather HUGE undertaking of mine. A mixture of minor elements of fantasy and steampunk.

Then can't wait to see it for the day you ever to complete it.

I know, right?

Though the only reason Leonora was with lions last time was because of my misunderstanding back then.

Theme Song: www.rainymood.com

Name: Quaid River-Reaver

Race: Seelie [Ourous]

Age: 20

Gender: Male

Appearance:

Spoiler

Personality: Quaid is usually a very relaxed person. He has the patience of a monk on morphine and tries to be amiable to everyone. When he starts feeling dry he gets irritable. His mood is also influence by nearby water sources - a rapid river leaves him energetic while a still pond leaves him placid.

Bio: 

Spoiler

Bastard son of the last ruler of Racar conceived shortly before his death, Quaid was never thought to be one who would live in the limelight by others. Others however have little to do with fate. His half-siblings fought relentlessly over their fathers broken realm while Quaid slept by the riverside, dreaming contently of the quiet current of the waters. Quaid had no interest in the squabble and the feuding family considered him a non-factor with his lack of legitimacy.

Quaid's affinity with the waters grew as he aged. As a young child he could tell of a coming flood, sense the life teeming in the rivers and could feel the rains coming. In his early teens Quaid started bringing the rains. Being such a terrific boon to the agriculture suffering from the civil conflict made Quaid well noticed by the people. When he began having visions of events past, present and future the whispers of a Priest blessed by the Gods started. The people were disillusioned by the failures of the priest but the faith remained strong. Quaid's humble nature only gave strength to the rumours he was oblivious of. The warring siblings were less ignorant.

Each of them began to clamor for Quaid's attention, hoping to reestablish the old tradition of having a priest backing the family - only this time they intended to be the ones pulling the strings. After two years of dodging each one Quaid grew bitter and left Racar entirely. For the past two years he has been traveling various kingdoms, living off of goods given to him by happy villagers welcoming the rains he brings

Traits:
Magic Priest - Quaid is blessed by the waters. As well as having strong magic potential he can have visions and perform blessings.
Elemental Affinity: Water - Quaid is good at water magic. Being around water also has more effect on Quaid than the average Ourous - the normally average lizardman is much faster, stronger and more enduring than normal.
Polearm Proficiency - Quaid can hit things with the glorified stick he calls a staff.

Know about eachother. They would have to keep an eye out on the battlefield for powerful adversaries, no?

And to be with her cousin!! D;

Minerva and Lilith should be besties,

Should they be? Minerva is VERY unorthodox for a Fairchild.

Very much so! How to start this though...

Of course they'll know each other, all things considered.

However, if I understood Dice's bio right, Markus never participated in the war and it ended before he finished his training.
On the other hand, Henry wasn't a Songbird during it.

As for previous battle field meetings, I suppose it could be possible. We can talk it over of you like.

I think this is a good idea.
We can have a nice, coherent and well thought-through reason to hate each other's guts

[Liar]

Last major skirmish between Ascxil and Lunia was eight years ago. Minerva, Lilith, and Markus were only 12 then.

Edited by Liar, 11 February 2014 - 08:59 PM.

[SliceAndDice]

That would depend entirely on when exactly the war started/ended relative to the present. Here's the general timeline for him;

 

1-8: Years of neglect and blah di blah childhood trauma

8-10: Kryssa's intervention

10-16: The journey abroad

16-20: Songbird initiation and whatnot (this leads to the present).

 

So any interaction with him as a Songbird would had to have been within the last 4 years.

Hm, can't remember that number. Where was it mentioned?

It IS plausible that there might have been a border skirmish from time to time.

From your bio I understood Markus "present" was soon after he came back from training.
