Sorry for the double post ^^; Just finished! I hope the creation of such a large company is acceptable... If not I can always change it! [hider=Linara Samachi] Full Name: Linara Samachi Race: Human Gender: Female Age: 17 Hair: Brown Skin: Pale Eyes: Blue Height: 5’2 Weight: 45kg Place of Birth: Linara was born in the north of Aega where she spent much of her early childhood in a large castle hidden away in a frozen valley. Her family later moved to a large manor house just south of the mountains when she was in her early teens. Appearance: At 5’2 Linara is a fairly average height for her age, though a little thinner than healthy. She has a very pale complexion mostly from her time spent in the north getting very little sunlight and spending most of her time indoors. Her hair is dark brown, very long but well kept. She normally allows it to flow loosely behind her but will sometimes tie it up for formal occasions. She is fairly pretty with an angular face and light blue eyes though she can be somewhat intimidating when annoyed. Occupation in the frontier forces: The Samachi Mining Company have paid a large sum of money for her to join the expeditionary forces. They hope that she can establish deals with the frontier teams to trade gems and take control the market before other companies can gain a market share. Gear of choice: (include clothing, armor, weapons etc. if applicable.) Linara uses a rapier as her weapon of choice. Her parents paid for her to be trained in dueling from a very early age. She has become very proficient with her blade and will often use it alongside her magic in a fight. Much to her teachers despair, Linara often neglects the use of actual armour and prefers to wear normal clothes or dresses. As a result much of her clothing has been fitted with light padding though it is unlikely to stop anything but a glancing blow. Positive Personality Traits: Confident, Sensible, Reliable Negative Personality Traits: Arrogant, Irritable Misc. Quirks: Has a tendency to flatter to those superior to her Likes: Time alone, Practicing magic, Organisation Dislikes: Inexperience, Hobbies: Dueling Paired character: Vultog Connection with paired character: Vultog has been hired by Linara’s parents to protect her. She is not best pleased with this. Fantastico History: Linara was born in a mountain range to the north of Aega where she spent much of her childhood. It became clear to her parents early on that Linara had an affinity for ice magic and they hired the best mages money could buy to hone her talent. When they eventually moved south of the mountains Linara was just entering her early teens and her magic was flourishing. The vast wealth of her parents allowed to her access to all possible avenues of learning and she prided herself in being the best she could be. Despite a near limitless supply of money, Linara often found herself alone in her the families large manor house. Her parents spent much of their time away taking care of the families gem mining business and Linara was left with the servants and house guard for company. It was in this time that the captain of the house guard took it upon himself to teach the young girl to duel. Using a couple of sticks and later blunted ceremonial swords, the captain taught Linara the basics of combat and in time her skill in the area became more than adequate. When the guard captain eventually retired to the south of Aega, he presented Linara with a finely crafted dueling rapier of her own. Linara loved the sword, though now she had no one to practice with she found herself alone again with little to do. To make matters worse, The Samachi Mining Company had become the prime target for bandits. Her parents were around less than ever and on the rare occasions they did return they were both restless and aggravated. In an attempt to escape the boredom and hostility of the manor, Linara asked to take on some of the families work. Afterall, she was the heiress to the company. Her parents responded by sending her to some of the more local towns hoping she would find more customers for gems. This was dull but surprisingly easy work as gems were always in high demand from mages. However, while travelling in Grah-Nglak to meet with her parents at a mine in the orcish territories, she was attacked by a group of bandits hoping make a small fortune by kidnapping her. Linara and her small guard put up a good fight but they were vastly outnumbered and under equipped. Then, just as it seemed the bandits would win, a half orc intervened, fending off the attackers brutal skill and efficiency. Once they returned to the family manor, Linara’s parents decided to hire to young half orc as her permanent guardian… Despite Linara’s protests that she could have take care of herself. The Samachi Mining Company: The Samachi Mining Company owned by Linara’s family is one of the largest suppliers of charged gems in Veruulis. The company employs thousands of workers to toil away in the mines and manage the recharging of used gems. The high demand by magic users ensures that they remain incredibly profitable and their name is widely known… Though not always for good reasons. In recent years a growing number of bandit attacks have occurred on Samachi caravans as the criminals attempt to take the gems for an easy profit. In response, caravan security has been stepped up on all trade routes.[/hider]
