Approved characters:
Janus - Milowan
Aya - White Feather

My CS:
Name: Janus Malron
Age: 18
Gender: male
Orientation: pansexual
RIS: peasant
Occupation: Hunter

Legend:
"Have you heard the stories? they say this village has a guardian spirit. Whenever bandits raid the village they all mysteriously disappear, as though they've never been there at all. They say that the spirit of the forest is protecting them and will cut down even the greatest threat. That's why even as far away from the capital as it is, there hasn't been a bandit raid here in the past 4 years".
--Passing peddler caravan

Janus is a free-spirited young man with a love for the great outdoors. He became known as a guardian spirit when he was 12 and mercilessly eradicated a band of bandits that were harassing the town. Occasional sightings of Janus have occurred, but only glimpses in the thickest parts of the forest. Janus has a love for animals, and only hunts what he needs, every part of his prey becomes something he can use. His bow is made from a buck's antlers and sinew, his traps fashioned from wolf teeth and shattered bones.



Appearance:
Janus is a fit young man with dark brown hair and brown eyes. His nose is thin and his expression makes him always look angry.

Personality:
Despite his demeanor Janus is actually very playful and loves to swim. he spends most of his time swimming or running through the treetops, hopping from branch to branch. He likes people but chooses to live in solitude because he doesn't know how to interact with them. His mother died giving birth to him and his father died of plague when he was 10. Janus is very clever and loves to play little tricks on the people of the village. He will write riddles in the dirt and watch in secret while waiting for someone to solve it.

Skills:

Archery: As a hunter Janus is an expert marksman

Trapping: not only can Janus make amazing and practical traps, he also knows the perfect bait for each type of prey

Parkour: Due to his time spent running in the treetops, Janus is exceptionally fit and agile.

Combat flaws:
Janus is terrible in hand-to-hand combat and in a 1-on-1 duel he will quickly lose. He also lacks combat training of any sort and therefore is less effective in open combat.

Deity: Vangleich, Janus had always been drawn to the crimson tones and constant glow of the red sun. As such he worships Vangleich openly, always paying his respects before sleep.

Abilities:

Tracking: exactly what it sounds like.

Backstory:
Born and raised just outside of a small village far to the West, Janus' mother died just after he was born. Janus' father raised Janus and taught him how to master the bow and the best kinds of places to set traps for animals. Shortly after a plague ravaged the village Janus' father died. When Janus learned of the habit bandits have of raiding villages he decided to protect the one near and dear to him. At age 12 Janus drove off his first band of bandits, weeks later they came again. For the next 4 years Janus fought off ever dwindling numbers of bandits and protected his village from harm. Now at 18 years of age, Janus is beginning to get restless.

White Feather Soul of a warrior / Feet of a Coward

Member Seen 7 mos ago

Name - Aya of the House of Phoenix
Age - 17
Gender - Female
Orientation - Undecided - isn't sure if she likes males or females
Rank in Society - Daughter of a merchant Patriarch.
Occupation - Merchant daughter

Legend -

"I've heard rumours about that Aya. They say she's not from here. Poor girl got lost, Phoenix took her in. Aya's not even her real name. She's been looking for her real family ever since"
Merchant gossip.

Though Aya is often seen outside, it takes someone of real courage to approach her. The House of Phoenix are very protective of the girl, but she is subject to many rumours and debates. Most argued is her mysterious appearance aged 11, which sparked debates about who she was and where she came from. She does go out her way to help people, this hasn't alleviated the suspicion she is regarded with.

Appearance -


Aya is a sweet young lady, with long blonde hair and piercing blue eyes. She is a very attractive girl, with big eyes and soft features

Personality -
Aya is, to put it nicely, a bit of a ditz. She often looks stunned and confused and is a little slow-witted. Despite this, she is very charming and sweet, rarely getting angry or upset. However, she is very trusting and charitable, easily duped and quite gullible.
Though not smart in a conventional sense, she is very imaginative and creative. She enjoys looking at puzzles and riddles, as well as writing poetry and songs. She is slow on the uptake, though, and gets lost frequently. She is prone to accepting demands from strangers in an attempt to be polite.
She has a developed sense of justice and honesty, and isn't afraid to speak up against anything she feels is wrong. She tends to win over most people she meets.
She's completely craven. She is scared of most things, whether it be simple things like spiders, the dark or heights to more serious murderers, rapists and kidnappers. When scared, she hugs herself and quivers in a desperate attempt to calm herself down.

Skills -

Charm: Pretty self explanatory, she is a very endearing girl. Most normal people like her.

Artistry: Whether it's drawing, music or drama, Aya takes to it like a fish to water.

Daggerwork: Her fear of everything has caused her to train in the art of dagger play. She has become quite proficient, but lacks physical strength.

Combat Flaws -
She's not really built for combat. She lacks range, strength, dexterity - pretty much anything to do with combat.

Deity - Heckta

Abilities - Nothing of note.

Backstory -

The most anyone seems to know of her starts at 11. She was found, lonely and emancipated, in the gardens of the House of Phoenix. The Lord of the manor took her in, originally as a servant. Her endearing nature and cute face quickly made her a favourite and there were rumours that she was to be married into the family.
When a minor art dealer came to town, Aya was enthralled. He was doing fairly well, but didn't have much patronage and had the artistic equivalent of writer's block. After a bit of convincing, Aya managed to get the Lord of Phoenix to give the artist patronage. Both the art dealer and the Lord benefitted significantly thanks to Aya's intervention, with the dealer become a minor celebrity overnight and the Lord cutting deeply into the art trade. Realising the girl had an eye for the more artsy side of business, she was adopted into the House.
Aya took well to her new duties. With her help, the House of Phoenix has become a significant patron for artists up and down the country. Her sharp eyes caught out some pretty great artists whilst the Lord of Phoenix's business sense kept her from getting a bad deal. Like many merchants, she's had her ups and downs, but overall she has done incredibly well.
However, knowing the sexist world of Merchants and their circles, she is looking for a new leash of life. At 17, she is looking for something more permanent and prestigious to devote herself to
