Yes I have lots of characters. They're mostly NPCs tho, but a lot of them might get a post or two POV and we'll see whose personalities stick out the best cuz those are often the ones I'll keep writing about. Major characters: Ashe Mordelle - Leader of the Spears of Kor, the military branch of the Paladin worshippers of Kor. Zephyr "Zeph" Pederick - A footsoldier "Spear" in the Spears of Kor. Autumn Dove - A footsoldier "Spear" in the Spears of Kor; currently escorting Lavender through ruins. Lavender - A Divine searching ruins for signs of the ORB. Currently aided by Autumn. Lucy Webb - A cook for the Spears of Kor. Also probably a spy. Leif Aspenstorm - A pickpocket mage that has just stolen a very valuable good from someone in Torch Forest. Twin of Kell. Kell Aspenstorm - A druid that assisted in stealing the valuable good from someone in Torch Forest. Twin of Leif.
NPCs (aka people that sit still in towns for others to interact with when needed) None yet.
Minor charactersLiam - A footsoldier in the Spears of Kor in Zeph's unit. 22, he/him. One of Zeph's good friends. Though this man is honestly a friend to everyone: Liam is outgoing, overly friendly with everyone he meets, and always prepared for a good song. He's a mountain of a man with probably some orcish blood, and stands far taller than his peers. He has curly brown hair, a tangled beard, and green eyes, with mid-toned, off-grey skin. He's a good friend and stands up for those too weak to defend themselves, but can go berserk in fights if he doesn't closely control himself. He also must be careful around any sort of drugs, even coffee, as he is surprisingly prone to their effects despite his size.
Moe - A footsoldier in the Spears of Kor in Zeph's unit. 19 they/them. Introduced by Kiki, a mutual friend of theirs and Zeph's. The two have been watching over each other after they were put in the same company in the Spears. Moe is short with a shock of bright red hair and hazel eyes. They freckle when hot or angry, much to their embarrassment. They don't seem the sort to join the Spears, but they wanted to see the world and didn't have very many applicable skills other than with a bow. They've since transferred off the archery unit to be Zeph's shield partner.
Jennie - A rather tall woman with long, auburn hair and grey eyes. A corporal in Zeph's unit, she has a booming voice and actually enjoys the paperwork side of being unit staff. She revels in organization and order.
Quinn - A scruffy, lanky man with a patchwork beard and dark hair. He is never dressed properly. He's lighthearted and a good actor.
Amara - Mordelle's unofficial second in command. She's a sly one, though she often pretends to be airheaded and embraces the rumors that she's only there as Mordelle's mistress or sponsor, depending on who you ask. She is a short, mother hen sort of woman, with pale skin. Her hair is naturally blonde, but she actually keeps it buzzed and prefers wigs. She is one of the few Mordelle trusts, and the two have been close friends since joining the Order.
Jabbar - A commanding officer in the Spears of Kor. 31, he/him. Jabbar is a wisp of a man and looks rather sickly at all times, with a pale complexion and shaky hands. He has dark hair he wears in a bun and a ragged, patchy beard decimated by burn scars. He still sports many more scars of his service in the Spears, particularly a nasty scar that cuts down the right side of his face over his blind right eye. He holds grip tightly of his unit in the Paladins, the Hama 6, which is composed of tight-knit veterans trained in guerilla and bush style tactics. The unit reveres his orders, and are known to be loyal as dogs to Jabbar, not the Paladins.
Eddam - A bronze dragonborn with golden eyes and a lame leg. He's in charge of the camp staff, mostly the cooks and cleaners, and oversees the supply train of the Paladins. His control over that domain is absolute, and many of the undercooks fear his rage. He is impossible to please.
Kiluravaxi "Kiki" Swift - A mutual friend of Zeph's and Moe's, Kiki joined the Paladins with Zeph when they both ran away as children. She's a grey tibaxi, with wide yellow eyes and darker spotted markings. Kiki is outgoing, friendly, and a people pleaser at heart. She's the kind of person to have hundreds of "good friends" and is quick to trust anyone. She works in the embassy of Kor, and she and Zeph had a bit of a falling out when he decided to join the Spears under Hubert's insistance, taking it as a betrayal of her brother figure and best friend.
NamedropsFischer - a fat lower commander of the Spears of Kor. Probably a lieutenant by blood, somewhere in the lower division.
Hubert - A hard but kind commander that sees over Zeph's company. An older veteran of the Paladins that has served for many years and loves to tell the new recruits plenty of stories, some of which are even sometimes true.
Memir - A tiefling Spear in Zeph's unit.
Boris - A quiet corporal from the first division. An old and sturdy soldier that hasn't moved up in the ranks.
Taliyah - A bubbly air genasi from the first division. She's powerful, but only for short bursts. A good scout.
Rosanne Brockwell - A lady, landowner, somewhere in the plains. Known for hosting parties.
Rowan - Lucy's contact in the opposing army.
Connie - Moe's brother. A scribe in the Paladins.
Ed - Moe's brother. A soil chemist.
Petrichor "Trix" - Zeph's younger half-sister.
MAJOR CHARACTERSSPEARS OF KOR ASHE MORDELLE 39 - he/him - ace/biromantic
Mordelle is average in height and while he doesn't put extra effort into training, does work to maintain his soldier's physique. He is no doubt a strong man and looks the part, though he is quickly learning to lay off the deserts as his metabolism is really starting to get to him. Mordelle has dark hair that is already beginning to go grey at his temples and normally has bushy eyebrows though he tries to keep them trimmed down and tended when he can. He is always clean shaven. He has a square face, a somewhat conspicuous nose, and dark eyes that sit back in his skull so he always looks tired. When he actually is tired, the dark circles push his already shadowed eyes further back, making him really spooky. It's a blessing in disguise, since people often avoid him during this resting-evil-face phase of exhaustion, giving him a much needed reprieve.
He prefers fighting on horseback and has spent much of his career with the light cavalry, both with lance, saber, and mace. On the ground, he prefers a mace and tower shield. He fights left handed.
As a boy, Ashe was sent to the Paladins of Kor once it was clear his brother would inherit their land and his younger sister their family business. With no real calling and a penchant for starting fights, his parents put him in the Paladins' hands to be reformed. At first, young Ashe rebelled against this, but he eventually made friends within the Order, as well as a role model in his mentor, and used this to find his place and calm his heart. He even made peace with Kor itself, leading him to the center circle of the Order and eventually into the council. He was quickly placed with the Spears as a higher officer due to his proficiency and, well, his quickness for violence, which he never quite grew out of. The years in the Spears has shown him that violence is rarely the answer and nowadays he tries to help smooth things out as peacefully as possible, but that doesn't stop him from showing his fangs when there is evil to be rooted out and he is turning out to be a good commander. Even if he does lack in creativity, he makes up for it by knowing his army well and knowing exactly where he can apply pressure on the battlefield to make the biggest impact with his highly trained units.
As stated, Mordelle isn't the most creative person. He tries his best to really understand the moods of his underlings, which brings him great paternal pride. He has several good friends in the council (x-x-x) and a few trusted staff members in the Spears (x-x). Mordelle is an honorable man at heart, having spoken with Kor and it's unwavering definition of justice, and tries his best to give his aid whenever he has the ability to. Sometimes this puts him and his men in risky positions, and although he also tries to balance his fellow Paladins safety and not put them in irrational, dangerous situations, he will always count the lives of citizens first and the army second as he believes it is their duty to stand in the way of all harm. Mordelle really struggles with cutting his losses and often puts good money after bad, so to speak.
His perfect day would be waking up early to a light dawn mist in the chilly fall, watching the sun rise with a cup of strong coffee, spending some time with mock fights, and then being able to relax with his close friends without any outside interruptions. Maybe a detour to spend time caring for horses in there too, and a dinner of savory pork and baked cinnamon apples. Autumn Dove 26 - she/her - panromantic lesbian
Autumn has always been tall and bulky, especially for a woman, and even before she joined up with the Spears, had always taken the more physical jobs at Rommdac. She has light brown hued skin and usually has long, straight black hair, though she cut it down to her ears when the Spears went on march so it would be out of the way. She sorely regrets this, even if at the time she hadn't cared for the long hair one way or another. Her eyes are brown, though they can shine gold in the right light and she has excellent night vision, leading her to believe she might have some elven blood.
She is fair with a spear, and prefers heavy armor. Her strength lends her to bash her way through most problems. She can wield some minor magics and is particularly drawn to fire.
Autumn has no clues towards her family. She was abandoned at the Temple of Kor as a baby and like many others in the Order, was raised by the Paladins as an orphan. The thought of not knowing her true family bothered her when she was young, and she spent much of her spare time in the libraries of Kor researching old documents to find the ORB, which she believed would give her the power to find where she really belonged. She hated the studying and only the desperation of feeling like she didn't fit in with the Paladins kept her going. But that passion slipped away from her after years with no fresh leads, and she finally found the resolve to figure out where she belonged for herself instead of wishing on some magic orb to do the work for her. So she set off with the Spears, as she had always envied the Paladins who acted on Kor's will, though it seems her path is circling back to the ORB in a different way.
Autumn isn't the kind of person to enjoy crowds. She's most comfortable in small groups, and best when she's only with one close friend. She finds the comradery of her unit stifling, and though she tries her best to fit in, she often ends up watching from afar, not able to mesh with the larger group. Autumn very much enjoyed when it was only her company patrolling between small villages and found a great deal of fulfillment helping the villagers with her labor to pay for their stay as the Paladins of Kor were known to do. She is somewhat uncomfortable with their other duties, namely laying down justice by Kor's will, as while she was raised under Kor's hand and believes fully in their patron God, she doesn't believe that people who don't adopt Kor's rules should be punished under its hand.
She hates sitting still and would much rather be doing something, even if it is difficult work. Autumn works best under routine. A good day for her would be completing every task she had set out to do with no complications, and perhaps even things that went smoother than expected, giving her free time that she feels she has worked for and deserves. She loves cool baths, puzzle knots, and watching the fish in the pond back at Rommdac. Lucy Webb 20 - she/they - heterosexual Zephyr "Zeph" Pederick 20 - he/him - the Big Gay
Zeph is of average height and build with thick, dark hair and coal-dark skin. His eyes are sky blue.
He is a master with the spear and picked up the skill for it quickly. He prefers lighter armor if any at all, valuing speed and agility and the greater range of the weapon to keep safe on the battlefield. His unit tended to be in the thick of formation fighting, and so he has a good amount of experience keeping in line.
Zeph still hasn't really acclimated to the fact that he is fighting. He joined the Spears young with Kiki and stayed on after she was promoted into the Paladins. Zeph was actually the reason they joined up with the Spears of Kor rather than the local militia: the Spears had been passing through and Kor sent a dream to Hubert to take the two teens into the Order. The Paladins treated them both well and Zeph quickly made friends in the Order, prompting him to stay. He knows he is good with his weapon and the formations but has turned down several promotions, as he still feels his stay in the Spears is temporary.
Plot notes: def ends up liking Liam; Liam turns him down cuz he's probably pans/aro and doesn't want to lead poor Zeph on.
Moe ALSO probably has a crush on both Liam and Zeph, but doesn't say anything cuz they know Zeph already is fallen hard for Liam. Secretly a little broken about it, because they did drop the archer unit to get closer to Zeph and it doesn't work out LAVENDER ?? 84 or smth - he/they/it - aro/ace LEIF ASPENSTORM 16 - he/they - bi disaster tbh
Leif is thin as a twig and has shoulder length blonde hair he usually keeps tied up and tucked inside a bandana. His skin is chestnut brown and almost glows in the sun when he's working his magics. His eyes are dark blue.
Leif is the twin with the magic. His specialty is illusions, though with some effort he can weave spells from other disciplines, though it always takes more out of him, particularly anything that has physical form. For Leif, his illusions come second nature to him, as does his kleptomaniac tendencies. He just can't resist shiny baubles of all sorts and after a walk through town his pockets are full of trinkets he's pilfered. Usually he returns the goods just as quickly, but sometimes he can't help but keep the shiniest of things for himself.
He recently fell in with some other "professional" pickpockets, and already he's proven to have the quickest fingers. His last job, stealing a small trinket from a lady's manse, was supposed to be just a fun challenge with little stakes, but the object in question must have been more valuable than it seemed, for the theft had been quickly discovered and Leif and his twin, Kell, are now on the run.
Leif struggles a lot with himself. He doesn't know exactly who he is yet, or what he wants from life. He's often upset at the way his actions affect Kell, but he also has one(1) skill and wants to use it to keep them fed and safe, even if he often takes things too far. He wishes he had better foresight, or that Kell could step in and be impulse control more often, but doesn't know how to broach that topic with their sibling. He doesn't trust easily, but does tend to emulate those he admires, which often are not model citizens and gets him into even more trouble. KELL ASPENSTORM 16 - they/them - questioning, tends to like other nb people
Kell is shorter than Leif and other than their matching deep blue eyes, could hardly be noted as twins. Kell appears older than their sibling with a narrower face, a deeper voice, and a perpetual frown. Their skin is a lighter olive and they have dark hair they keep cropped short.
Without much skill with magic, Kell has worked to learn how to talk with the landscape around them. They are a brilliant tracker that uses the most minute of details in the landscape to work out the story of what has passed and what landmarks lie around them.
They tend to be the caretaker of the two of them, and has fallen into the role of the responsible one since Leif is totally incapable of doing so himself. This frustrates Kell to no end, but they love their twin and no matter how tired they are of cleaning up his messes, continue to do so with their careful attention to detail and unwavering determination once they set their eyes on the goal. Getting a goal can be the hard part, and they've spent so much time in Leif's shadow that they don't really have any direction for themself. They are terrified of losing Leif and don't know if they can be their own person without him to choose their path for them. |
