There's still slots available! Keep in mind that I may end up being pickier with these last two slots because we already have a particular dynamic it seems. Look at what others have and see what you come up with!

C H A R A C T E R S U M M A R Y


Age : 25
Gender : Male
Caste : Magus Ordinis

A P P E A R A N C E


A middle aged man with long curly brown hair and dark brown eyes. His body size would be average/husky, though he does not have as much refined muscle on him. His skin is fair where the sun doesn't touch, but as of recent it has slowly begun to turn back to its natural color, only a few spaces are left with darker tan lines. But mainly where head dress, and clothing does not touch.

P S Y C H O L O G Y


For a vigilant man in a order of warriors, he would seem somewhat cowardly to most as he doesn't like to enter fights where him and his friends may meet their doom. He is strategic and thoughtful, hoping his time with books and knowledge will help him and his allies in their battles to come. Inside of combat, he is a fighter like every other man, fighting to survive. He hopes in combat to save at least some of his friends, but luckily he has only been in bouts and various trials. He hopes that his training will not have to be used in defense.

Outside of combat he is somewhat energetic with things that he enjoys such as architecture, engineering, and some dabbling into the human body. He desires to create tools and weapons that can defend that city which he loves so, build forts and citadels that can protect farther then the walls which he stands vigil on now. To recreate man from the golden age of man from before the plague, to see what the world would have looked like pure from corruption as he sees all to have suffered and changed from what humans once were. He studies so much, but how much of the knowledge will be able to be used?

E Q U I P M E N T


  • Full plate and armet helm /w padding
  • Halberd
  • Longsword
  • Small bag for coins.
  • Smaller belt pouch of herbs, cloths and small instruments
  • Larger bag for cooking utensils, small patchwork kit, underclothing, bed roll, etc.




H I S T O R Y


Born to be the third son out of eight children in a minor house of the Magus Ordinis, this family whose runes covered the left side of the body, and focusing on fine refined points, symmetry, and very little curves. It was based off of the earth beneath them, the edges of stone, and the points of mountains. When his family came to the city, they were given refuge and an area to build their house once again inside the city before the wall was built. Having created forts and castles from before their forced arrival to the city. By the time they had arrived, the wall was already being constructed, and they would continue this process and guide the walls construction until it was finished. Then for the years past, reconstruct parts of the city that needed to be reconstructed due to damage and general wear.

But by the time Joseph came around, the city was already suffering from lack of resources. This would come into his life as he was the youngest in the family. Being educated by secondary tutors, his studies to educate him, and improve upon his skills were the bottom of the barrel compared to most of his other peers. It did not help him much as he was given worn text books to learn from, specially somewhat outdated textbooks that his older brothers would be using. This would continue for much of his life, learning little by little out of any book he could get his hands on. He learned a little of everything, architecture, poems and literature, math, sciences, arts, even a book on the human body.

But at the age of ten, he began growing fond of fortresses, castles and the walls that encased him. He wanted to build such grand monstrosities of stone, he began sketching the walls and streets. He'd find high points and may layouts of the city near him. He would watch the world evolve around him in his youth, and enjoy it in his child state. This is when he would begin painting, carving and begin learning refined metal works that would evolve into his knowledge of basic engineering. But due to cost of resources, this would begin to have effects on the wealth of his family.

This was where he began to fall from grace, when he inflicted massive amounts of debt upon his family, and then the cast. He would use resources that could be used to help rebuild broken walls, or be placed as supports to an aging building that could of had a few more years of life. But instead it was used on this young boys ambitions and desires. If it was not for this, he could have seen himself on the seat of the council as his studies were outpacing his brothers, and his artistic ability was above even some of his sisters.

When he turned fifteen, he was betrothed to another house that had fallen to financial and social downturns. The girl was seven years younger, so he would have to wait at least seven. But it would still give him time to enjoy his life, studying and making himself fit if he was to work on such magnificent arts such as architecture for those who most desired it. Or those who would need the talents of a grand engineer. When this time turned about, he had also began refining his artistic abilities such as refined masonry, and basic mechanical tools. These would be lack luster because of the resources available to him, since the rest of the family was limiting what he resources he could use in his studies and crafts. He would make due.

At the age of twenty he was working in as many jobs as he could, helping design buildings in area's of the city that needed to be refurbished due to various reasons. Selling paintings made of only a few colors. He was still the pride of the family, out preforming the sciences of his brothers, but only beating his eldest sister in the arts. On paper, he was well rounded, an artist, a builder and craftsman, and even a tradesman or statesman at times if need be. But, this would not help his family much at all, this would make them look worse due to the strain of resources he caused his family, and more importantly the Magus Ordinis.

Five years, he was still not married his betrothed had died young some three years early to an infection of some kind and his trades were not working for him. He had managed to pay off some of the debt his family owed to various people, and made a deal with the Magus Ordinis to pay off the rest. To end the suffering of his family due to his drain on capitol and resources, he would join the Phoenix order. He was soon escorted away, begin the trials of the Phoenix order, and not doing the best in the portions of the first trials, he managed surviving nonetheless. But, he will find out soon, that he is most likely going to be sent to his death in the rangers.

A little hard to imagine a family within the Magus Ordinis caste going poor considering they make their money THROUGH their studies and politicking. Plus they have family estates that wouldn't quite be traded off.... Perhaps go a little bit more in-depth on how they started to go into poverty and you're good. Oh also if you could add some details in on what runic tattoos they have and such on the appearance, that'd be nice!

Gave it another read, aside from grammatical errors and some nitpickiness of mine, it's good. Being betrothed to another would be less being betrothed to someone belonging to a House, as that is more a noble thing, and pertains to classes not castes, but more belonging simply to another family within the Ordinis. But I give it an Approved. Go ahead and move it to the character tab, I'll send an invite to the discord sometime later.

@Edeul Morralis

There's about one slot available but also a time-window to catch it. I'll be posting the intro on the IC probably on Wednesday or Thursday night.

C H A R A C T E R S U M M A R Y


  • Race: Hasivani
  • Age: 25
  • Height: 5'11"
  • Gender: Male
  • Sexual Orientation: Straight
  • Marital Status: Single


Edeul's personality matches that of a predator or evasive animal. He doesn't trust anyone even if they are in his social group. Always suspicious of people,and their objectives, he keeps them at arms length, and always thinks of possible gains for having them around. This could be do to his past, but nothing solid says it could be the case. For he has always been that way.

A P P E A R A N C E


Edeul always keeps his face hidden by a white ceramic mask due to the burns on his left side cheek and the runic markings on his face. His eyes are the only part seen through the mask as they shine a silver grey when hit by light. He has a slight stocky build, and is physical fit. He never wears anything that is too shiny or can reflect light. Metals on his person that are exposed are covered with a sap and ash blend that hardens to keep light from reflecting on them. Has a small pendant of a snake coiling around a staff and sword, a family sigil long thought to be gone after the end of the Onyx War.

P S Y C H O L O G Y


Much like his personality Edeul's psychology is like that of an animals. He always is wary of newcomers, and has a tendency to stalk those he sees as a possible threat. He tends to always stay on his guard even in times of rest as a threat may always be lurking. He isn't much for groups or social gatherings. Tends to be a loner besides the few people he deems as his friends. When it comes to tough situations Edeul is able to think on his feet as he tries to find a solution to the matter by thinking a few moves ahead.

E Q U I P M E N T


  • Dark Brown Leather Gear
  • Snug Fitting Chainmail Under His Leather Armor
  • Three Daggers (varying in size small, medium, and large)
  • One Silver Short Sword (from his time being of higher caste standing)
  • Lock Picks
  • Book covering Herbs and tradition medicines
  • Mortar and Pestle
  • Small Vials of Poisons and Antidotes


H I S T O R Y


Born the first born son of Raven Morralis. Edeul had to learn and fill the role of being part of the Magus Ordinis. His kind of the Hasivani once wielded the powers of magic, but after the Council used their ritual all magic had been purged from the populace. His family passed down a pendant from generation after generation to the next head of the family. It was a sigil of the family Galaya. One of the most well known magic wielding families in the land. After the ritual Galaya had no immediate heirs besides that of the branch family of Morralis. With the weight of needing to live up to the name their family had. Edeul went through harsh lectures, and even was beaten, until he knew the materials handed to him.

Once he became of age he had to undergo a trial his family has done since the days of old. He was task with uncovering the link to bringing back magic by any means necessary. His deadline was given to him shortly after accepting it. With only a short six years he began to work. His methods started to raise suspicion as members of lower Hasivini families and other castes began to vanish without a trace. His labs were raided multiple times, but no proof of his actions were found. The only thing in his labs were cadavers that signed forms when he they were alive to be used in the efforts of his trial.

However one day he was summoned in front of the council of actions he didn't commit. They claimed to have a witness seeing him stalking one of the missing Hasivani. After weeks of just going in circles Edeul grabs what he could of his research and items he could sell if his funds got too low, and ran to escape his fate of being executed for having a hand in the disappearances. One night he took a torch he was carrying, and placed it on the runic marking with his name and lineage erasing them from time and from his past.

After three years of constantly moving he joins the Order to fully escape the reach of the Council. There he showed his skills with stealth and his expertise in poisons and medicines. There he began to ingest small doses spanning long periods of time to gain a small immunity to the poisons he crafts. Over time his figure began to change slightly as his immunity to poisons grew. His once lean build began to bulk and swell in size.

Now in the middle of his Aegis training he gets a letter on his bed to join the Rangers. Filled with rage and upset he stabs the letter into his bedpost, and makes a runic symbol, for chaos, onto the letter in blood.

Just remove mention of a House in the Appearance section and then we're Gucci. I'mma go ahead and give it an Approved and you can move the character sheet into the character tab.

I currently have come down with the Flu, SO that being said hopefully this weekend we can get the RP started if I can get better soon.
